Why Brazilian Jujitsu?
What's Brazilian Jujitsu (BJJ)?
BJJ is a grappling-based martial art that utilises positions, controls, and submissions (joint locks and chokes) to neutralise bigger, stronger opponents. Think of it as human chess: technical skill + strategy > raw power. It originated in Brazil in the early 20th century and is based on the principles of leverage and submission holds. BJJ practitioners aim to control their opponents and submit them using joint locks and chokeholds. BJJ is also widely recognised as one of the most effective self-defence systems, and is taught to military and law enforcement personnel in many countries. Join us, train smart, and discover why BJJ is the most practical and addictive martial art on the planet.
Why choose a grappling martial art?
- Works at close range, where most real altercations finish.
- Reduces the danger of strikes — control first, harm last.
- Proven for centuries in arts such as Judo & wrestling and refined today on every BJJ mat.
How is BJJ different to other sports?
- BJJ is always evolving; athletes borrow what works from wrestling, Judo, sambo, MMA — nothing is “too traditional” to change.
- Live testing: Many classes include controlled sparring, so techniques are pressure-tested daily.
- Accessibility: suits every age, gender and body type; technique and timing trump strength.
