Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, also known as BJJ, is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting.
Developed in Brazil in the early 20th century, BJJ is based on the principles of leverage and submission, allowing a smaller person to defeat a larger opponent.
BJJ utilizes a variety of techniques such as joint locks, chokeholds, and throws to control and submit an opponent. It is a highly effective self-defense system and is commonly used in mixed martial arts
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is perfect for anyone who wants to sharpen their self defense skills, and sharpen their mind.
Men, women, and kids can all practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
There is no specific build, stature, gender, that fits the mold of what a BJJ student looks like, aside from being cautious of existing medical or health conditions. Virtually anyone can practice BJJ since this martial art is more about technique than strength.

My Name is Greg Escolta I am 63 years old and have been training in Martial Arts for 58 years. I started in Shaolin Kenpo and received my Black Belt 1978. I competed on the state level and International level where I won many Championships.
I continued to explore other arts to satisfy my desire to be a well rounded Martial Artist. I trained in Wrestling , Judo,Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.I went to college at San Francisco State University where I studied Biology, Botany, and Asian American Studies. It was during my studies in my Anatomy and Physiology class that I recognized how our bodies are constructed and how our bodies were meant to move naturally. From physics I learned why when certain techniques are done correctly maximum power happens.
Martial Arts has evolved and I am helping the martial arts community by incorporating great techniques backed by science.
Fast Forward 2011 I started teaching classes at Powerhouse Gym in Redwood City. I have trained many champions but more importantly the life skills my students learn on their journey to mastery of the Arts are what I am most proud of. Honor, Respect, Discipline,Confidence, Integrity, Indomitable Spirit are at the core of what they learn. My boy student’s learn how to be champions in the ring and outside the ring and always remain a Perfect Gentleman. My girl student’s learn to be champions in and out of the ring as well but I rely on the mother’s to coach them up on being a Perfect Lady!
