Over Ivy League BJJ
Ivy League Jiu Jitsu Academy is the premier martial arts school in Princeton and Homestead, Florida. We aim to provide high quality training in Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to people of all ages and backgrounds. More about what we teach: Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu are martial arts which focus primarily on using grappling techniques and redirection of momentum to defend against a stronger opponent. They share a common ancestor (Japanese Jiu-Jitsu) which was developed in feudal Japan for use on the battlefield, but have diverged significantly over the past century to fit more modern applications. Judo has become an Olympic sport and maintains a strong emphasis on standing techniques such as throws and slams, while Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was modified by the Gracie family and adapted to specialize in both offensive and defensive techniques on the ground. When used in tandem, these arts compliment each other to form a very formidable system in the context of both sport and self defense. We incorporate techniques and concepts from both arts into each class in order to ensure well rounded skill development. Classes are divided by age group and experience level so that teaching can be carefully tailored to the needs of each group.
