About

QMUL and Barts & the London University Brazilian jiu jitsu team

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) 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 the no-holds-barred Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 1, 2 and 4. The 170-pound Brazilian successfully survived and triumphed against all sorts of martial artists, always heavier than him.

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!
