Focus No Gi Jiu Jitsu+ Adavantages

Here at Focus MMA we specialize in No Gi Jiu Jitsu. Although we call our grappling art Jiu Jitsu, it is as much influenced by the many different stlyes of wrestling such as Greco Roman. This has a lot to do with the fact that we train primarily without the gi and the grips and positions mirror wrestling as much or more than traditonal jiu jitsu. Also we train with the idea of competing in MMA and self defense applications so we also have much more emphasis on standing grappiing, clinch work, and takedowns. These are many times are overlooked in your more traditional styles of jiu jitsu.

Wrestling +We believe that one must be well versed from the standing position as well as the ground to be considered a complete grappler. We put an emphasis on clinch work and takedowns. We promote upper body throws and our own "drag down" system. Which is a great alternative to easily get the fight to the mat or to deal with very large or athletic opponents.
