Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Australian ELITE TEAM AFFILIATE
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger person by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ is also a sport where people compete in grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition. Progress and ascension through its ranking system is noted by colored belts.
We also offer female only classes, to help promote females and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Click below to find out more about our female only BJJ class.
