Abbotsford / Fraser Valley Jiu-Jitsu

Welcome to the new home of Abbotsford Jiu-Jitsu, this is a style of self defense taught for the street, no rules other than rule one, your survival.  Abbotsford Jiu-Jitsu has been operating since 2002.  Taught by Sensei Dave Woods, a law enforcement officer since 1990 he has taught many in the art of self defence. 

Our style is based on what to do if you find yourself being attacked, how to defend yourself and how to describe what happened to authorities.

This style is primarily focused on hold escapes and control tactics, we have been described as a "stand up" style of jiu-jitsu but was also focus on ground defense tactics should you find yourself there. The difference is that we don't teach you to fight on the ground, we teach you to deal with the problem of being on the ground and to get back to your feet as soon as possible.

Simply put, we don't teach you to fight, we teach you to survive.
