BJJ in Paderno Dugnano

Makaji Team

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, _the art of submission,_ is an effective fighting system based on controlling the opponent and forcing him to submit through the use of joint locks and chokes of all kinds. The origins of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu date back to the early 1900s, when Master Mitsuyo Maeda, a great expert in Judo and traditional Jiu-Jitsu, moved to Brazil and taught Carlos Gracie, son of his friend Gastao Gracie, his art. Once Carlos learned Jiu-Jitsu, he passed his knowledge on to his brothers, including the legendary Helio Gracie. Helio adapted Jiu-Jitsu to his slender frame, developing a system focused on ground fighting. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, or more commonly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, was born. Helio Gracie and his sons, including Royce and Rickson, helped popularize BJJ worldwide with their victories in various full-contact tournaments against practitioners of other styles. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is now considered a martial art, a combat sport, and an effective self-defense method. At the MAKAJI TEAM, you'll have the opportunity to embark on this journey by training both in kimono (gi) and without (no gi) with Masters Fabrizio Rao and Alessandro Quarta, both certified UIJJ black belts and FIJLKAM.
