What We do
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art that uses mechanical advantage and leverage either to even the playing field or overwhelm larger and stronger opponents. We focus on using our grips (grip fighting), body posture and position to limit our opponents options and keep us safe and in control.
We actively compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments (Sport BJJ). Competitions are a lot of fun and is a great way to be a part of the wider Jiu-Jitsu community and make friends around the state, country and world. It's also an opportunity to make sure our training and technique selection are on point.
Self defense is another huge part of what we do. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and as such we teach students about the risk factors of physical conflict and how to minimise them. As in Sports Jiu-Jitsu we focus on controlling a situation immediately by dominating the grips and body position. Our self defense incorporates a lot of Judo (a close relation to BJJ) and Wrestling techniques as well as applying pressure and control through joint locks.
Of course we always aim above all to make sure we're always having fun. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great way to make friends, improve fitness and learn a new set of skills in a safe environment. You can be sure everyone at the club will welcome you to training and help you to get the most out of your sessions.
