Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit. Due to the fact that control is generally easier on the ground than in a standing position, much of BJJ is centered around the skill of taking an opponent down to the ground and wrestling for dominant control positions and using submissions. Known as the ‘gentle art’, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art that allows a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend themselves against a larger, stronger attacker.
BJJ is a great sport to improve fitness, gain self defense skills, and most importantly have fun!
Most new members to our club have no prior experience of BJJ or necessarily any martial arts. Chat to us at freshers fair, come along to one of our taster sessions and give it a try!
