Who
We Are:
American Jiu-Jitsu Club has been at MIT since 1994. We learn and practice
self-defense. Jiu-Jitsu, or the Gentle Art, consists of a wide variety
of techniques: joint locks, submission holds, throws, strikes, weapons use and unarmed weapon defense (gun, knife, blunt weapons),
and ground-defense - not to mention de-escalation techniques and strategies. Jiu-Jitsu does not rely on brute strength, but
rather on flexible response and the use of an attacker's own energy. Jiu-Jitsu
prepares a person for any situation, including stand-up and ground fighting with and without weapons, an multiple attacks.
Where
We Practice:
Classes are ONLY open to members of the MIT community with athletics cards. While we have many MIT staff and faculty members as well as spouses and alumni, our primary focus is always on the MIT student. We were founded by students and pride ourselves in being a student-run, student-lead organization. We meet in the Wrestling Room on the 2nd floor of DuPont
Gym during the Fall, IAP, and Spring terms (that's Building W32 on the
map). If you have any questions, first read the FAQ,
and feel free to contact Sensei Dave.
