Virginia Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a highly effective and comprehensive system of standing and ground
defense techniques utilizing rules of leverage. Many real life examples show most street
attacks will end up on the ground. This makes BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) an ideal martial art for
theses situations which demand simple and effective responses.
Individuals will be able to train realistically in a
safe environment. Notwithstanding it’s selfdefense potential, BJJ offers a tremendous
workout emphasizing aerobic and anaerobic
conditioning, making it an enjoyable workout
for women, men, and children regardless of
athletic ability. The greatest advantage
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers is the ability for a
smaller person to learn principles of leverage that will assist them in defending against or
defeating a larger opponent.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques were refined and innovated by the late Grand Master Helio Gracie
who weighed no more that 145 pounds. Master Gracie focused on using only techniques that
involved the use of very little strength but emphasized leveraging and positioning the body to
defend attacks and control a harmful situation.
We are proud and most fortunate to have Master Pedro Sauer, a red-black belt directly under
Helio and Rickson Gracie as the main instructor for our Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program.
Master Sauer was voted the “Best of the Best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Instructor” in a worldwide poll.
Adult and Children’s classes are offered.
Muay Thai Boxing
Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. Muay Thai is a style of kick boxing where
participants fight in the ring using their fists, feet, elbows and knees in a style that has become
world renowned for its simplicity and effectiveness.
The term “kickboxing” originally referred to a
sport which paired International Rules Boxing
with Kicks allowed above the waist. Over the
last 30 years, the term “Kickboxing” has now
come to encompass all manner of full contact
striking sports, including Shoot fighting, San
Shou, San Da, Savate, and Muay Thai. Muay
Thai is, in fact, considered the original sport of
Kickboxing, having adapted international-style rules to compete in a boxing ring during the late
1920’s and 1930’s.
The Muay Thai program offered at Pedro Sauer Total Self-Defense Academy is based upon the
teachings and philosophy of Ajam Chai Sirisute, the founder and President of the Muay Thai
Boxing Association of the United States.
The programs offered are taught by Khru Bryan Mossey. Khru Mossey has studied Western
Boxing, Filipino Panatukan Boxing, and Thai Boxing for a combined 27 years. Khru Mossey is a
certified instructor under Ajam Chai Sirsute and continues to support Thai boxing Association
worldwide.
