Concept
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling based martial art, self defence system and combat sport. The focus of the sport revolves around ground fighting and controlling your opponent on the floor. Once an opponent is effectively under control, the desired finishing point of the combat exchange is to place your opponent into some form of submission hold involving either a joint lock or strangle hold.
Originating in Brazil in the 1920s, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was particularly developed and popularised by the Gracie family. With over 3 million people now practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu around the globe, it is now one of the fastest growing sports in the world and additionally it forms an essential component within the sport of mixed martial arts.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an extremely effective form of exercise and fitness, and if taught mindfully, it has been shown to improve other aspects of your health such as balance, coordination, body control, body awareness, self esteem and confidence.
Our specialised one to one beginners training program is an extremely valuable introduction to the sport. You will actively participate within the practical and interactive aspects of the art, in order to learn the technical and conceptual components of the sport. Additionally, you will also learn a specialised syllabus of specifically designed solo training drills, strength exercises, mobility drills and co-ordination exercises which will not only help to better prepare you for the rigours of Jiu Jitsu, but it will also help to bulletproof your body against the most common neck, back, shoulder, hip, knee, hand and finger injuries that frequently affect those who regularly practice the art.
