What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ, or Grappling) has been proven over and over again, not only in ring but in real combat situations to be the best. BJJ was developed from the original form of Jiu Jitsu in Japan. Brought to Brazilian and introduce to Helio Gracie, who later turned it into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Using the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger attackers by using leverage and proper technique – mostly gaining better position and then applying joint-locks and choke holds to defeat the other person.

How good is BJJ on the street?

Stats show that 95% of all street fights end up on the ground. So the fact is if you don’t know how to defend yourself on the ground, then you don’t know how to defend yourself at all. This is used By Police Officers: Pay close attention to when police officers make an arrests, they’re trained to use Jiu Jitsu when taking down and control a suspect.

Didn’t know anything about Martial Arts or Fitness

“I’m a Takedown member, and I’ve been here since the beginning. I train in the conditioning and muay thai kickboxing classes. When I first started, I didn’t know anything about martial arts or fitness. Thanks to Gianfranco, I’ve reached my goals. I’ve gained strength, endurance and great technique, my body has never looked so great. The training I received at Takedown is the best. We are like a big family, the atmosphere is amazing and everyone is always willing to help. I recommend Takedown MMA to anyone.” – Nicola Schiracci, Woodbridge, Ontario

Lost 20 Pounds!!

“Takedown is my home away from home. Everyone here is very welcoming and supportive and they have become like family to me. I’ve been training at Takedown since it first opened and I absolutely love it. Within two months I lost 20 pounds and I owe it all to Gianfranco. He pushed me to work hard and made sure I never gave up on myself. Taking classes here is like having a personal trainer. I used to attend a regular gym but I wasn’t pushing myself enough to get the results that I wanted. Here at Takedown we workout as a team and help each other to reach our goals. I would recommend Takedown to anyone! Come try it out!” – Elianna Voskakis, Woodbridge, Ontario

Having fun and gaining self-confidence…

“I really like the way that coach and mentor your students to focus on self-protection and to wisely use the Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills you teach for self-protection only and with a sense of duty that is rarely seen in many dojos. I also like the way that you focus on developing the character and leadership of developing young minds. I can see that the character that you help build can benefit schools, home life, later life-skills and society in general. It is easy to see that the students are having fun and gaining self-confidence while learning how to protect themselves. I encourage any parent focused on anti-bullying or leadership skills to enroll their young children in your school. Thank you for the skills you are teaching my son.” – Ross, Woodbridge Ontario
