Empowerment and Progress with Every Roll

While Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu consists of over 600 techniques and that number is increasing every day, not all of the techniques are focused on self-defense nor provide the foundational knowledge one needs to fully understand the art.
 
Many of the techniques utilized in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu today are more applicable in a competition sport-based setting. The sport of Jiu-Jitsu has grown in increasing popularity over the last two decades but many of those techniques are not effective in a real-world self-defence situation.

At Screaming Fire Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we believe that both aspects of the art are important to learn.
 
The Carlos Machado Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals (CMJJF) that we teach at the Screaming Fire Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is focused on teaching our students how to defend themselves against a larger, stronger opponent in a real-life self-defence situation as well as preparing them to be be able to competein the ever-growing sport BJJ has become.
