Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

 

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that has gained immense popularity around the world because of its fun, valueable skills, and physical fitness benefits. Our program is designed to teach students the techniques and principles of BJJ in a safe and supportive environment.

At our studio, we prioritize the safety of our members. Our experienced instructors are trained to ensure that all techniques are taught and practiced in a manner that minimizes the risk of injury. We understand that our members have important responsibilities outside of the academy, such as work and caring for their families, and we want to make sure they are able to continue fulfilling those responsibilities without being hindered by preventable injuries.

 In addition to our regular BJJ classes, which are open to anyone, we also offer a Women’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program.

Why we love

Jiu Jitsu

 

One of the unique aspects of BJJ is its emphasis on leverage and technique over strength and athleticism. This makes it an accessible martial art for people of all ages and body types. Whether you’re looking to get in shape or learn self-defense, our BJJ program has something for you.

We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can feel comfortable and supported as they learn and grow. Our classes are taught in a group setting, which provides opportunities for students to train with and learn from each other. The close-knit community at our academy is one of the things that sets us apart and makes our program special.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, our BJJ program will challenge you physically and mentally and help you reach your goals. Come and join us for a class and see for yourself why BJJ is one of the fastest-growing martial arts in the world.

“This review is from the perspective of someone new to DC and new to martial arts. I tried two other gyms before settling on EvolveAll. There was hardly a contest, in terms of the welcome my roomie and received, as well as the kindness of the staff and owner. I chose a BJJ membership where I have the opportunity to join about three classes per week (as a beginner, more as you grow), access to a weight-lifting space, and free reign to practice rolling when there is a free mat.”

“I started out taking the beginner jiu jitsu class with Emerson, then began attending the striking class with Herill and all-levels jiu jitsu with Cesar.  And I’m hooked on it.  I’ve had days where I get off work and I feel terrible; I just want to sit on my couch and drink a beer.  But I’ll push myself to go to class and I’ll feel a thousand times better afterwards.  I learn something new every day, and everyone — instructor and student alike — is super helpful and super nice.  I recommend anyone who is interested in checking out a fitness or self-defense class to come by, and you’ll realize the same thing that I’ve realized: Evolve All is about more than just fitness and self-defense — it is a community!”

BJJ FAQ

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? BJJ is a martial art focused on ground fighting and submission grappling. The core idea is a smaller, skilled person can control and submit a larger opponent using leverage and technique rather than brute strength. It’s chess meets a full-body workout.

Am I too old to start? Not at all. We have students who started in their 40s and 50s and never looked back. BJJ is a martial art that you can realistically train for decades.

What should I wear to my first class? Shorts and a t-shirt are fine to start. Eventually, you’ll want to get a rashguard, spats, and fight shorts. We asked our members to list some of their favorites. https://evolveall.com/the-best-rash-guards-according-to-evolveall-bjj-members/

What’s rolling? Rolling is what we call sparring in BJJ. It’s live, resistance-based practice with a partner. One thing that separates BJJ from other martial arts is the ability to spar every class with intensity without risking injury. You won’t be showing up to the office with a black eye. Maybe a little sore though. Many consider rolling the most fun part of jiu jitsu.

How long until I get my blue belt? It varies. Everyone is on their own journey and it depends on how often you train and how much study and practice on your own as well. For most people, training 3 times per week, 2-3 years of consistent training should do it, but BJJ belts are earned, not given on a schedule.

Is BJJ good for self-defense? Yes. BJJ is among the most practical martial arts for real-world situations because most physical altercations end up on the ground. Knowing how to control a situation and how to get back up safely is genuinely useful.

Do I have to compete? While some of our students regularly compete in tournaments, it is not required. We are not a competition school. Instead, we are focused on the growth and development of each person on the mat.

What can I expect on my first day? Almost everyone walks in unsure of what to expect. We all remember being the new person on the mat. We’re here to guide you through it. We’ve got a blog post outlining what to expect for your first BJJ class at EvolveAll. https://evolveall.com/what-to-expect-on-your-first-day-of-brazilian-jiu-jitsu/
