Intro
A rapidly growing grappling sport and widely considered as the most complete martial arts for ground fighting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is derived from a combination of traditional jiu jitsu, judo, and wrestling, with a focus on positional control and submissions attained using leverage and technique.
Class info
Predominantly focusing on grappling on the ground without the use of strikes, BJJ emphasises the use of leverage, speed and technical application over strength and power enabling a smaller person to control and submit a much larger opponent. A typical class consists of functional warm ups, some takedowns, positional technique repetition or drilling and controlled sparring, referred to as rolling. BJJ is both a highly effective martial art for self defense as well as a fun, technical and challenging combat sport.
