Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art based on grappling, ground fight and submission holds. BJJ focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks and choke holds.

The concept of BJJ is that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend him/herself against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling and self-defense situations.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an intense, aerobic and anaerobic whole body workout that helps your fitness and improve your health. Regardless your gender and age or whether you’re new to Jiu-Jitsu, or a seasoned practitioner, we offer a variety of adult classes that will meet your individual needs and experience level.

Fundamentals program (GI and No-Gi)

Starting any new sport, much less a martial art, can be difficult. So your very first session is a 45 minutes private introduction class with one of our instructors. After that, our beginner’s classes allow you to learn the basics in a very controlled, safe, and fun environment. Our fundamental program is designed for anyone, male or female, of any body type or fitness level. The program is designed to effectively introduce all the basic positions, techniques, submissions, and escapes. The classes will prepare you for both self-defence and sport Jiu-Jitsu. It will also improve your fitness, balance, and coordination.

Intermediate/Advanced program (Gi and NoGi)

Designed for those who have practised BJJ for a while, or are returning to the mat after a break, this program will help you reach new heights in your Jiu-Jitsu journey. In these classes, the whole world of Jiu-Jitsu is an open book to be studied, evaluated, drilled, and put into practice.

Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is the perfect self-defense system for women, a great sport and a total body workout!

You can start the program at any time and participate in any class without previous experience. 

If you’re unsure about learning BJJ for fear of injury, embarrassment, or any other reason, our women's classes are perfect for you! If you’ve tried BJJ at another school and had a negative experience, give us a chance and it will win you back to the mat!

Considering all the benefits that women’s classes can offer you, seasoned or brand new practitioner, there’s really no reason not to start you BJJ journey now. In fact, you may be the key to creating a world of jiu-jitsu that has just as many women as men.

No-Gi

Submission Grappling or also known as  No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, takes the same approach as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but without the advantage (or disadvantage) of a uniform to grab on to. Take off the Gi and the three biggest differences are less friction, fewer and weaker grips to control your opponent and fewer methods of applying strangles. The class focuses on modifying our normal Jiu-Jitsu techniques by reducing emphasis on the ability to grab clothing material. What you have left is a real life experience that is similar to the type of grappling done in the Octagon.
