Welcome to the Fifth Dimension Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (FDBJJ). We offer Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), fitness, and mixed martial arts training programs. Students can train to enter sports grappling tournaments, mixed martial arts contests (MMA), or just train for physical fitness and self defense purposes. Students participate in sparring and rolling according to their skill level and training objectives. Technical drilling, rolling, and flow fighting are an important part of training at FDBJJ. All students must master the technical aspects of BJJ and striking at their level prior to advancing to the next level of training.

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that focuses on grappling
and ground fighting. Students learn to defend themselves by using
leverage and proper posture; applying locks chokes, and strikes.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, although obviously similar in many respects to
Judo and other traditional systems of Japanese Jiu Jitsu, differs in
some fundamental ways from all other related systems. Judo was
originally designed as a powerful system of self-defense that also
included a sportive component and the idea of self-cultivation and the
mutual benefit of members of society. Presently,although the
techniques of Judo may certainly be applied in real fighting situations
(and many practitioners of "sport" Judo have applied their skills very
effectively in non-sportive confrontations), the emphasis in most
schools is on sport competition. During the course of the last century
the rules of Judo began to emphasize means of achieving victory in
competition that did not necessarily reflect the conditions of all in fighting. For
example, a Judo match may be won by a throw or a pin hold without a
submission. These rules and limited groundwork that forbids many of the
original submission holds found in early Judo somewhat limit direct
applicability to street fights. Other styles of classical Jiu Jitsu are
still plagued by the original problem Kano addressed with his emphasis
on randori, namely, technical training is limited to kata practice.
