Overview

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not based on strength or athleticism; its effectiveness comes from the use of an opponent's strength, force and aggression against themselves. The student learns how to use leverage and body positioning to defend themselves in virtually any close quarters attack or assault. Since most real-world confrontations end up on the ground, BJJ concentrates on grappling positions including the "Guard", "Mount" and "Side Control". These positions allow the student to apply a variety of strikes, chokes, joint locks, pins and escapes with the most effective leverage-based techniques possible.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was originally developed, time tested and proven, on the streets of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil and in fighting rings around the world to be the most functional approach to self-defense and combat against a much larger and stronger opponent. Practitioners do not have to be in great shape, be big or strong and do not need prior martial arts experience before they can expect any benefits. One of the major advantages of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that it really works for everyone.

Klint Klaas, Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Instructor

His training began in 1997 by traveling to Los Angeles to train at legendary Rickson Gracie's Pico Boulevard academy. His training is currently continuing under friend and instructor David Camarillo. He is a proud member of the elite Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu team.

Klint's attention to detail and dedication to the technique of jiu-jitsu led to his being asked to substitute for his instructor very early in his training, while still at the Blue Belt level. As time went on he was asked to assume a greater role in the development of his fellow students and began teaching his own regular classes. Over the years he was lucky enough to work with students from all walks of life, helping them reach their full potential in jiu-jitsu. His students have ranged from doctors, lawyers, housewives, office workers, students, and children to police officers, military personal and professional competitors.

Because of his dedication to the technical aspects of jiu-jitsu, his role evolved into additionally teaching the advanced classes and working with competitors and professional fighters on their preparation for events.

His role as a training partner and corner man to many professional Mixed Martial Arts fighters continues to this day. He continues to be a reference for some of the greatest competitors in the world competing on the highest levels possible in events like The Ultimate Fighting Championship, EliteXC, WEC, and Pride FC.
