This was a turning point for BJJ and put the sport into the martial arts spotlight making it one of the most popular martial arts. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that focuses on grappling/ground fighting focusing on submissions without the use of strikes while training allows students to practice at full speed and with full power resembling the effort used in a real competition.
BJJ allows students to defeat an opponent of greater size and strength using submissions. :: Why should I do BJJ? :: Health Benefits:
Other Benefits:
None us of us want to or expect that we will get into a fight, however we do live in a dangerous and unpredictable world so it can and does happen. A lot of real fights end up on the ground or in a clinch so it is definitely worth learning to fight in those situations. :: Can anyone do it? :: They sure can! The level of resistance you use is up to you and your training partner so anyone can do it. BJJ is great for men and women. BJJ allows students to defeat an opponent of greater size and strength using submissions so it is great for smaller people. More importantly, BJJ is fantastic for learning how to control a fight from a positional standpoint (and controlling a fight from a positional standpoint allows you to then apply any number of tactics such as fleeing, striking, gouging etc). As such BJJ forms a terrific platform for almost any form of self defence tactic. :: What are the classes like? :: Our classes begin with a warm up and then move into the next section of the class where the instructor teaches the techniques relevant for that session (in many cases this phase of the class will be tailored to the various levels of the participants so that beginners can get what they need and so to can the more experienced participants). Techniques are practiced first in a compliant manner and then under progressive resistance until move into working at full resistance for those who are ready to do so. The class then finishes with a free rolling/sparring session. The level of resistance used is up to the student so all students can train safely and within their limits at all times.
