Jiu-Jitsu was developed as a system of self defense on the battlefields of ancient Japan.
In 1914 Jiu-Jitsu Master Esai Maeda immigrated to Brazil and taught his art to Carlos and Helio Gracie.
Helio Gracie refined the art to match his small size and the two set out to prove the effectiveness of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in early MMA fights in Brazil.
This samurai spirit made its way to America in the early 90's through the Gracie Challenge and UFC.
Using submission holds, defensive positioning and leverage, Royce Gracie defeated all his opponents to become the first UFC champion.

Ok, so let me start out by saying I have been to SEVERAL martial arts gyms.
Some were awesome some just.not.
This gym is awesome!
I've been training with Coach Darby for a couple years now and he is everything you look for in a coach.
He's very understanding, patient, helpful, knowledgeable, trust worthy, and very well qualified.
Great place to train.
I really look forward to the days that I can get out to the gym and get rolling (or striking for boxing/muay thai).
This is where I started my martial arts training, and is still my favorite place to go.
