If you are reading this, we hope you are wanting to learn more about self defense or more specifically Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art based on grappling concepts. BJJ focuses on using optimal leverage to control and/or effectively defend against an opponent or aggressor. The art focuses on takedowns, positional control and submission holds to stop an attacker or opponent. The art includes self defense, sport BJJ and mixed martial arts related training. The instructors at Porto De Carro are Jason Dempster, Dalton Million, Houston Million, and Austin Linton. Jason has achieved the rank of Black Belt and Austin, Dalton, and Houston are all Brown belts. All of the instructors are ranked under the legendary Fabio Santos. Classes include a brief warm up that includes many fundamental movements used in BJJ, a takedown and/or self defense move followed by ground technique instruction, drills, then ground sparring (rolling). Classes are welcoming and friendly. Instructors try to ensure progressive development to ensure everyone is picking up the skills they need to do each part of the class.
