Welcome to Jeff Kunze BJJ!

In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I teach my students the principle of position over submission, especially in self-defense scenarios.

Maintaining control is far more effective than chasing submissions, which should only be used as a last resort.

Dominant positions minimize unnecessary risks and protect against counters or reversals, a strategy that separates self-defense from sport jiu-jitsu or MMA. While the latter often rewards taking risks for financial gain or entertainment value, real fights demand control and precision.

Many spectators miss the subtle nuances of this approach without proper knowledge or experience. 

Empowerment Through Self-Defense: Building Confidence and Safety

• Most physical altercations end up on the ground, and learning effective techniques like the armbar from guard empowers individuals to protect themselves, regardless of size differences.
• With the holidays bringing heightened stress and potential safety risks, incorporating self-defense into corporate wellness programs fosters confidence, resilience, and a culture of safety.
