What an amazing night tonight at Savarese Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! We packed over 50 people for the Rafael Lovato Jr. seminar, the biggest one we have ever had. Professor Lovato showed some amazing techniques and ended the night in a special way for me by promoting Professor Savarese to 2nd Degree blackbelt! It has been an incredible ride being part of his team and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. Thanks to Rafael and all my students and friends for sharing in this day. oss!

Savarese BJJ Academy

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a unique martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. BJJ practitioners utilize throws, trips, and sweeps to bring an opponent to the ground, where they have a variety of chokes and joint locks to bring an end to the altercation rather than using punches and kicks from a standing position. BJJ has its roots in Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. Japanese Jiu-Jitsu migrated to Brazil in the early 1900’s, where it was learned and modified by the now-famous Gracie family. Central to this philosophy of combat that the Gracies helped develop is the idea that a larger opponent’s advantages (reach and strength) can be nullified if he is taken to the ground. Thus, leverage and technique are much more important in the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu than size and strength. Today BJJ has exploded in popularity all over the world, thanks to the efforts of Brazilian families like the Gracies and their cousins, the Machados.
