Adults Jiu Jitsu Classes
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes revolve around grappling and ground fighting. Most of the techniques focus on taking your opponent to the ground where you work to control them and make them submit to you by ‘tapping out’. Central to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the belief that a smaller, weaker person can defeat a bigger, stronger assailant. They do this by using leverage, grip, knowledge, tactical skills and problem solving. They also apply a range of techniques such as chokeholds and joint locks. Students are ranked depending on their level of skill and experience. Beginners start as white belts before progressing to become blue, purple, brown and black belts.
We train Gi and NoGi Jiu Jitsu – Gi Jiu-Jitsu is grappling with the use of a traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uniform or Gi. It allows you to grab the clothing of your opponent to control or submit them. In No Gi Jiu-Jitsu, you don’t wear the traditional uniform. Instead, you wear shorts and a t-shirt or rash guard.
