LCCT Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Early forms of jiu-jitsu included a variety of techniques such as joint locks, throws, and grappling, designed to subdue opponents effectively. It was part of a broader martial arts culture that included various weapon-based arts. By the late 19th century, jiu-jitsu began to be formalized into distinct schools or styles. Notable figures, such as Mitsuyo Maeda and Jigoro Kano, emerged during this time. Kano, a student of jiu-jitsu, founded judo in 1882, which focused on throwing techniques and became a sport. By the mid-20th century, jiu-jitsu as a distinct practice began to wane in Japan, largely replaced by judo and other martial arts. However, its legacy lived on, particularly in Brazil, where it evolved into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, gaining international fame and recognition. The journey of jiu-jitsu from Japan to Brazil highlights its adaptability and enduring influence in the martial arts world.

Limitless BJJ

At Limitless BJJ, our Cincinnati [Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_jiu-jitsu) (BJJ) classes all follow a similar structure in layout. To begin, we line up in front of the instructor, bow in, and do a light five minute jog around the mats. Afterward, we do a more formal warm-up for roughly 10-15 minutes. Additionally, this warm-up will include bear crawls, crab walks, cartwheels, shrimps, and a variety of other movements. Once our warm-up has officially concluded, we will gather in the main area of the mats and the instructor will begin teaching technique. At this point, we dedicate a large portion of each class to teaching and drilling techniques with a partner. As a result, everyone gets consistent hands-on practice that helps build confidence and skill. In general, the technique portion of class will be the longest duration of the class’ segments. Then, for the later part of class, we spend ~30 minutes sparring. Meanwhile, new people are invited to watch the more experienced members spar for their first time. Eventually, as their experience grows, they can join in and begin rolling themselves. (Note you must be a 2 stripe white belt or have 6 month of formal BJJ experience to be able to freely roll/spar.)
