The Artist in Martial Arts

The Martial "Art" of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

     The term Martial Arts is thrown around a bit, but sometimes we forget that martial arts is in fact an art form. Like the sculpter who chisels stone into form ,the painter who mixes and matches the appropriate colors to express an idea or emotion from nothingness, or the musician he picks up the appropriate distances between tones to write melodies,the martial artist to enters a journey from nothingness and accumulates his tools to create his art.
     At Buffalo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy, we provide the knowledge to develop such tools. Buffalo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has a lineage that consisted of many great such artists. Carlson Gracie Sr and Ricardo De La Riva are two such artists who changed the what it meant to practice Jiu-Jitsu. De la Riva expressed his style by creating a revolutionary style of guard that was named after him.
Years later the De la Riva guard is synonymous to Jiu-Jitsu itself. Practitioners all over the world use the  tools he developed to express and practice their Jiu-Jitsu. In Buffalo, NY we are proud to carry on such art.

What Kind of Artist Are You?

       At Buffalo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, we have artists in BJJ, MMA, and Judo. Some art is fast and aggressive, while being smooth and methodical. Some art is uglier ,but effective as practitioners use their weight and gravity to gain dominate positions. Some dazzles with moves that cause people to fly through the air while other styles our improvised and abstract practitioners open up their game to experiment and evolve Jiu-Jitsu. Jiu-Jitsu evolves constantly and that is what allows for
a wide selection of instruments and tools for the artist. You get to mix and match your tools to best suit your strategy. This becomes highly fun and addicting as you develop your "game". In MMA, you must fit together a jigsaw puzzle of various techniques and martial arts to defeat an opponent. It requires diligent practice to acheive this in MMA. At Buffalo BJJ we focus on fitness and technique to ensure we create the best kind of artist who know the rules so they can one day break away and create their own.
