“Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you, so you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength.” -Helio Gracie. Did you know that Helio Gracie was 5’9” and only about 140 lbs? Regarded as the “father of jiu jitsu” as he adapted Japanese Jiu Jitsu to the more leverage and technique based martial art we know today. He has also been considered one of the greatest grapplers of all time. It’s no wonder jiu jitsu is the go to self defense martial art for children, women, or anyone wanting to use ease and leverage over strength and speed.

DID YOU KNOW: ALL adults in the GJJ program are grandfathered at Team Octopus Sandy Springs! That means you can attend ANY Sandy Springs Team Octopus classes including the 6 am & Noon BJJ or whenever. In addition, kickboxing, strength training, fitness classes, etc.

Have you been to our Ladies Only Jiu Jitsu class Octopus Sandy Springs? Every Thursday 7:30-8:30 pm, taught by Coach Judith Wellen Breitkopf !
