Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

About

QMUL and Barts & the London University Brazilian jiu jitsu team

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art, revolving around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ first came to prominence when Royce Gracie, a BJJ black belt, won UFC1, 2 and 4. Since, it has been a cornerstone of MMA, self defence and the martial arts community.

 

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. Join our chat, and come along to one of our classes to give it a try!

 

What to expect:

  • Gi and No-gi, catering to every level of experience
  • Classes lead by experienced students
  • Opportunity to train at Fightzone London with a discount!
  • Open-mats
  • Social events including post session 'spoons, hail mary, club nights and more. Many members of our club do not drink alcohol, so we've got you covered in every case!
  • Events with QM Judo and other university BJJ clubs
