Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
BJJ focuses on the ability of a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend against a larger, stronger opponent through the use of grappling, ground-fighting, locks and chokes.
Why Choose Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)?
The first BJJ academy was opened by the Gracie brothers in Brazil in 1925 – and since then has developed globally.
It’s a martial art, combat sport and self-defence system that focuses on the ability of a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend against a larger, stronger opponent. Based in ground fighting, BJJ also teaches take-down techniques and submissions through the use of locks and chokes, and is particularly effective when needing to fight from laying down.
