It’s true that there are a myriad of martial arts being taught today, each with their own methods, techniques and advantages. However, since it’s a fact that most street fights end up on the ground, you’ll want to study a fighting system that focuses on takedowns and ground combat.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that system.

If you watch any mixed martial arts competition, you’ll see that most of the fights end up – and are won – on the ground. These fighters all use some types of Jiu-Jitsu techniques in their fighting styles, which is why you need to learn them if you’re serious about defending yourself. That’s because Jiu-Jitsu focuses on takedowns, choke holds, joint locks and ground combat, which makes it a very effective fighting system, especially when a smaller, weaker person is facing a bigger opponent.

If you live in or around Austin, Texas, and want to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defense or just for getting into shape, the most respected teacher can be found at Vandry BJJ Academy.

The Vandry Academy is owned and operated by William Vandry who is a 2nd degree black belt and Pan American World Championship gold medal winner. William was one of the first Texans to earn a black belt under the tutelage of the world renown Master Carlos Machado.

The Vandry Academy accepts students of every skill level, from the complete novice up to the professional competitor. They also offer classes in MMA fighting and Muay Thai training and conditioning.

One of the aspects that has made the Vandry Academy the place to go for learning Jiu-Jitsu is the environment and the patience of the teachers. William and his teachers provide a safe, non-intimidating environment that encourages people to learn, grow and retain their knowledge.
