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.

Kids Martial Arts

Kids Martial Arts is arguably the most effective method of promoting individual growth within a child. In the past decade, there has been a major response from schools  nation wide to help counter the issues of bullying and the damage it can do to the victims. Schools have tried various anti-bullying tactics including guest speaker assemblies, stiff punishments, and counseling. School from an early age up into high school can be a jungle, where adults can not always protect their students from the hidden torment of hazing and bullying. As important it is for adults to watch over their students, nothing can compensate for a child’s own self-confidence in his ability to take on any hostile situation that may arise. Through kids martial arts, kids can learn at an early age that dedication and technique can be used to overcome many of life’s obstacles.

Kids Martial Arts Teaches Confidence and Bully Proofing Techniques

Kids martial arts such as Brazilian Jiu Jiu-Jitsu, instills these ideas at an early age and promotes many positive habits that will follow a child throughout his/hers life. Kids Martial Arts teaches the importance of dedication and practice, in order to perfect and grow their skills and personality. Their confidence soars at an early age, as they learn the techniques required to safely handle a confrontation with a bully. Through martial arts, the child grows along side children also undergoing similar growth, and together they learn the importance of teamwork and the social skills that promote self-worth within a child. Nothing is more scary for a child, than to experience the doubt and fear to confront  troubling issues. Children can feel shame or disgrace by having to approach an adult for help by their bully problems, and as a result may keep their troubles secret. It can be an issue that leads to troubling conditions such as depression, anxiety, and an avoidance of social situations. Kids martial arts provides the physical and mental conditioning to insure that the child can the problems that arise  in a physical confrontation. But more importantly, a child with glowing self-confidence is much less risk from being a target of bullies! Kids martial arts teaches not only self-respect, but respect towards  all people in a child’s life. The confidence he or she will experience with kids martial arts. will serve to inspire and promote a healthy and positive life style.

Sharing The Secrets: Black Belt BJJ Philosophy

Hey guys! Welcome to my Blog. We're going to start out with a bang! 

I'm going to get right into the action by sharing some of my Black belt philosophies. 

You'd pay hundreds of dollars for many of the things that I'm going to GIVE to you for FREE in this blog, so bookmark it, subscribe to it, write yourself a post it, you are going to want to check back here on a frequent basis! 

Up First, check out my video about not getting caught in a linear game. Learn why neither "the position" or "the submission" are the most important aspect of my BJJ game. Hear my opinion on why so many people get stuck, and are afraid to go for a submission that could win them the fight! 

The video quality is raw, we recorded this on the fly while I was in New York  at +Animals MMA Yonkers. There will be a few videos (maybe even some technique tips) that I'll be sharing with you from my trip out to Yonkers, NY.

You DO NOT want to miss it!
