Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ; Portuguese: jiu-jitsu brasileiro [ʒiw ˈʒitsu bɾaziˈlejɾu, ʒu -]) is a self-defence martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting, and submission holds. BJJ focuses on taking ones opponent down to the ground, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks, chokeholds or compression locks.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu was first developed in 1925 by Brazilian brothers Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., and Hélio Gracie, after Carlos was taught a hybrid of traditional Japanese Jujitsu and Kodokan judo by a travelling Japanese judoka, Mitsuyo Maeda, in 1917. Later on, the Gracie family developed their own self-defense system Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

BJJ eventually came to be its own defined combat sport through the innovations, practices, and adaptation of Gracie jiu-jitsu and judo, and became an essential martial art for modern MMA.

Our colors are red, black and white. The colors represent blood, sweat and tears respectively. Throughout your Jiu Jitsu journey, you will begin to have a better understanding of our logo. The Gracie triangle represents the mind, body and spirit as well as a solid foundation. Imagine a three dimensional triangle (a pyramid) no matter what side it is on- it will have a solid base. The Inversion logo consists of two triangles; one larger and in the forefront and the other is smaller and in the background. The larger of the two represents who we have become- A new and improved version. The smaller triangle represents who we used to be. However, just as the two triangles are drawn with on line, we are connected to our past and it will always remain a part of us. We must continue to train and fight to stay ahead at all times.
