Welcome to VNDL Jiu-Jitsu

Why No Gi Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was brought to Brazil in the early 20th century and was founded from the roots of Japanese Jujutsu and Judo. No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (or No Gi BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on the ground aspects of fighting.

The techniques that are taught place an emphasis on controlling an opponent with leverage and movement, rather than strength. In addition to being a form of self-defense, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu provides an intense physical and mental workout that will improve your health, physique, and stamina.
