Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a very effective martial art that focuses on leg and arm breaking joint locks, chokes and pins. The art came to international prominence in the 1990s, when Royce Gracie fought against often much-larger opponents to win the early UFC events. It has since become a staple art for many MMA fighters. BJJ involves knowledge of bio-mechanics, leverage, momentum and physiology.

It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can use technique to successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant, without causing unnecessary harm or injuries. Our members train for self defense, sport grappling tournaments, MMA competition or just as a means to lose weight and stay fit. Our instructors are Tommy Shih, brown belt (Tri-force) one of the highest ranking instructors in Taiwan, and Ben Price a Gracie Barra blue belt.

Arnis/Kali: Arnis is a form of self-defense that was developed in the Philippines. This Martial art is also known as Kali or Eskrima. Although no one really knows how this martial art started, the most accepted history of the art is that it was the fighting system used by the first Filipino tribes to fight off Spanish Colonizers in the Philippines.

Arnis focuses on fighting both with weapons, like rattan sticks, knives, and "bolos" (blades used for cutting grasses), and without weapons ("Mano-mano"). Students are taught how to use these weapons and bare hands to attack or disarm their opponents. The Arnis system being practiced by our club is called "Lema Scientific Kali Arnis System" or LESKAS. This sytem was founded by the late Maestro Elmer Ybanez and Co-Founded by Maestro Filomeno Buena, in honor of their the late Grandmaster Benjamin Lema.
