brazilian jiu jitsu in Long island
brazilian Jiu Jitsu
is a Martial Art which utilizes techniques on the ground
to control, neutralize or submit an adversary. It is truly
an innovative art as it is constantly evolving. Its principles are based on
leverage and simplicity not just strength.
"To control and overcome greater
size, strength and aggression with lesser size and strength
is the keynote of the sport. This is done by utilizing
superior leverage, grip and position upon your opponent.
Students of the sport gain a deep understanding of the
workings and limits of the human body. This knowledge can be
used to subdue and control an opponent with whatever level
of severity the student chooses. The path to this knowledge
is physically and mentally demanding. Students benefit from
greatly increased physical fitness, problem-solving ability,
self-knowledge of their body and mind and the many social
benefits of working within a large group of like-minded
fellow students as you learn and have fun together. "

“Hi, my name is
Jordan Edwards and I’m a white belt here at the Budokan
Martial Arts Academy. I live in Manhattan New York and I’ve
been training at Budokan now for the past year and a half.When I graduated from college,I was a competitive athlete my whole life and through
college but when I left, I was sitting behind a desk for 2
and a half years inactive. When I came to the Budokan, I was
50 lbs over weight, and that quickly changed! Now I’m
competing in Jiu Jitsu tournaments. At my last tournament, I
took first place and I’m looking forward again to competing
in a few month. I recommend this to anyone who is looking
for an athletic sport back in their life oranybody who wants to pick up new martial art.”

The gentle art… The Art of

Judo is a form of martial arts in which you use the
strength of your opponent to overcome them. This means
that any person can win a judo match regardless of their
size. Judo is a great method of becoming both mentally
and physically fit.

people with disabilities, senior citizens as well as
adults. This is because it mainly emphasizes mental and

best sport for visually impaired or blind people.
2. Acquire new
skills
Judo is a very efficient means of self-preservation that
requires skill and not strength or size. It teaches
people how they can prevent injuries through practicing
the methods of falling safely. These falling techniques
are highly beneficial for individuals who also
participate in rugby, netball and basketball, it helps
the players avoid injury.
3. Improves mental
and physical health

health, then you ought to consider making use of Judo.
Mentally, judo promotes self-confidence, leadership and
concentration. This is due to the fact that it requires
a focused and clear mind, encouraging members to be
alert at all times. Physically, it enhances
coordination, flexibility, reflexes and balance.

respect for others

“Hey, my name is Dave Branch,
I’m a UFC fighter and BJJ Black Belt under Renzo Gracie.
I’ve been training with Sensei Nardu for a long time.
He’s a very good instructor, he’s one of the guys who
actually helped get me involved in MMA. He's very technical, has great foundation, pays
attention to detail and just really a good guy. He’s
been teaching for a very long time. So
anybody that’s in that area definitely should just go to
the academy, it’s a great school. Check it out, watch a
class, take a intro, become a part of it for sure.”

"Hello, my name is R. Deeny. I am currently a
student at the Budokan Martial Arts Academy. I’m
currently involved in the field of law enforcement. I
was a Army Sergeant in the 82nd airborne. I did a Tour
in Iraq. The reason for why I joined the Budokan is to
further maintain my physical skills and just to stay alert
and maintain the discipline that I had in the Military.
Once again discipline is the instant willful obedience
to follow all lawful orders, respect for authority &
self reliance. The BUDOKAN definitely instills that in
you dealing with Sensei Nardu and the other
instructors."
