Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu · Oxnard, California
A martial art that teaches a smaller person how to defend themselves against a larger adversary through leverage and proper technique. Built on discipline. Rooted in respect.
The Art
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was created by the Gracie family, who modified judo and traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu into a discipline built on leverage over strength. At Espiritu, we carry that lineage forward with focused instruction, a welcoming environment, and programs designed for every stage of life.
