What is BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has proven itself time and time again to be one of the most effective hand to hand combat systems ever developed. It has been showcased by the Gracie family in mixed martial arts competitions such as the UFC. Time after time they have been able to defeat much larger opponents by using the techniques of BJJ.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is divided into two main categories; Gi Jiu-Jitsu and No Gi Jiu-Jitsu. Read More…
Why BJJ?
The technical nature of BJJ allows strength to be overcome by precise technique and leverage. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu particularly fosters the ability for smaller participants to overcome bigger opponents. This leads to increased self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu will also develop and promote all of the important core values of traditional martial arts. Read More…
