Mr. McLean's Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes is a program
that started in 2002. We teach specifically Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
with a ghi. Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is considered the most effective
form of self-defense in the world. Started by the monks in India
years ago, Jiu-jitsu is the base of all martial art systems. It
made its way to the northern part of Brazil around 1920 and was
taught to Carlos Gracie Sr. by a Japanese master known as "Count
Koma" (Mitsuyo Maeda).
In Rio de Janeiro Carlos and his brother Helio, refined the
techniques handed down by "Count Koma" and developed the system
known as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is overseen by our Instructor Mr. Adriano Lucio from Rio de Janeiro Brazil. He is a member of the Brazilian Top Team and comes to the school 2 to 3 times a year to evaluate the teams progress.
