Mission
We train in practical and effective self defense–both traditional and modern. We employ extensive scenario based self-defense education appropriate for all body types, fitness, and experience levels. A true martial art is neither a sport nor a dance; it must be as effective on the street as it is in class… it must train the practitioner for the probable and prepare them for the unthinkable.

The American Jiu-Jitsu Club has been at MIT since 1994. We learn and practice Jiu-Jitsu (jujutsu, ju-jitsu), or the "Gentle Art," consisting of a wide variety of techniques: joint locks, submission holds, throws, strikes, fighting with improvised weapons, unarmed weapon defense (defending against someone with a gun, knife, or blunt weapon when you don't have one yourself), and ground-defense–not to mention de-escalation techniques and strategies. Jiu-Jitsu does not rely on brute strength, but rather on flexible response, the use of an attacker's own momentum against them, and using basic physics and anatomy principles to our advantage. Jiu-Jitsu prepares a person for any situation, including stand-up and ground fighting with and without weapons, and being attacked by multiple opponents at once.

During the semester, we run practices on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9-11 PM, and on Sundays from 3-5 PM, in the DuPont wrestling room in Building W32. During the summer, we run practices on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 PM, and on Sundays from 3-5 PM, also in the DuPont wrestling room.

Feel free to email us at self-defense at mit.edu with any questions, or check out our website at https://jiu-jitsu.scripts.mit.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page. We hope to see you on the mat!
