Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position from which to force an attacker to submit. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. BJJ can be trained for self defense, sport grappling tournaments (with the uniform or not) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible self-defense system based on the principals of technique and leverage, which allows the practitioners to defeat opponents of much greater size and strength. So you don't have to be a big, fast or young to be an effective fighter. It was made for real street fighting.

Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

95% of all fights end up on the ground! What if you have to protect yourself against someone who is bigger, stronger and hits harder than you? If you simply try to exchange punches and kicks you might not stand a chance! What if they muscle you to the ground and start pounding on you? Bad news if you’ve never learned Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which can effectively defeat an aggressive assailant using ground grappling techniques.

Would it benefit my child?

Absolutely! Jiu-Jitsu which means gentle art, emphasizes the use of technique and leverage. So your child won't have to rely on size, strength or speed. Also, learning to defend them selves and subdue their opponent in a safe and humane way without having to rely on kicks and punches if not necessary.

Your child will develop physical awareness of balance, reflexes, flexibility and coordination. As well as building on the mental aspects of the personality such as self-esteem, discipline, confidence, compassion and good work ethic. The classes are taught in a positive, fun and friendly manner, so your child will enjoy learning the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Women’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The worst part of an attack situation is the feeling of total helplessness the victim experiences. Brazilian jiu-jitsu not only empowers a woman physically with simple, effective techniques for an escape, but also psychologically and emotionally by enabling her to maintain the presence of mind necessary to recognize or create an opportunity to get away.

As for women, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is considered the best form of real self defense against a rape attack. The escape moves of Brazilian jiu-jitsu are based on leverage and technique and do not require strength, speed or coordination. They can therefore be used effectively by anyone of any age, size, strength, or level of physical fitness. This is the only style that delivers on the premise of a smaller person being able to defeat a much larger attacker which is perfect for women's self-defense. This hour long fun class will give you the confidence you need and the energy you want.

We offer mixed classes as well and, obviously it all depends upon personal preference as to which kind of class you join, but overall there are advantages and disadvantages to both. For example, a female only class will not always teach you how to fight against men and that is generally the main reason you are taking up the activity. So, a mixed class will enable you to protect yourself against various different body shapes and sizes.
