Brazilian Jiu-jitsu/ Grappling
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art developed primarily by the Gracie family in Brazil over the course of the 20th century that focuses on taking the opponent to the ground where he can be controlled and forced to submit with a huge variety of chokes and joint locks.
During training and competition all submission holds are applied in a measured and progressive manner so that there is plenty of time to “tap out” before any damage is caused and a student applying a submission will always release the hold immediately to ensure his opponents safety.
This method of training ensures that BJJ remains arguably one of the most effective martial arts because all the techniques used can be practiced regularly against a fully resisting opponent so the student is well aware of how his mind and body will react in a genuine confrontation and can develop a degree of certainty that such techniques will work.
A typical class is made of an extensive warm up, specific technique drilling, technique demonstration and sparring.
