Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Master the Art of Leverage and Control

What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)?

BJJ is a dynamic martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. It empowers a smaller or weaker person to successfully defend themselves against a larger and stronger opponent by using leverage, technique, and strategic positioning.

A Rich History

BJJ has its roots in traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, but it was refined and developed in Brazil by the legendary Gracie family. They adapted the techniques for real-world self-defence and competition, emphasising ground fighting and submissions.

“Always assume that your opponent is going to be bigger, stronger and faster than you; so that you learn to rely on technique, timing and leverage rather than brute strength.” Helio Gracie

BJJ gained worldwide recognition through its effectiveness in mixed martial arts competitions like the UFC. Royce Gracie, a member of the Gracie family, showcased the power of BJJ by defeating much larger opponents using leverage and technique.
