Why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a practical grappling Martial Art that teaches self-defense while you get in shape. It uses leverage to create space or take away. Understanding how to manipulate/leverage your body will help you control bigger and stronger opponents.
With the constant grappling, a person will ultimately get stronger and fitter with time.

Why It's a Lifestyle
From childhood to adulthood, it is the best martial art for street defense. It teaches you how to stay calm under pressure since its cornerstone is respect. Due to the constant drilling and rolling, we are constantly in sticky situations that may be uncomfortable for the untrained person, building strength and patience.
Shield Brazilian jiujitsu is a proud affiliate of 9X World Champion Black Belt, Lucas Lepri.
