Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or BJJ is a martial art, combat sport and self defence system that emphasises ground fighting rather than striking. Honed over thousands of years through various iterations and multiple continents, it was finally introduced to mainstream audiences when Royce Gracie used Jiu Jitsu to overcome larger and stronger opponents and become the first ever UFC champion in 1993

The aim of Jiu Jitsu is to subdue an opponent through the application of superior technique, leverage, and knowledge of human physiology. For this reason it has become a required skill for elite Mixed Martial Arts competitors to this very day.

Aside the self defence and fighting applications. It is also a fantastic way for people of all ages to get fit, challenge themselves and engage with other like minded individuals through their shared passion for the art.

Jiu Jitsu helps people develop focus, resilience and emotional fortitude. The pursuit of mastery is a never ending one and many find this not only to be an acquisition of skill but a journey of self discovery.
