What Is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on control, leverage, and technique rather than size or strength. It teaches you how to manage close-contact situations safely, escape dangerous positions, and control an opponent without striking.

This makes it especially effective for real-life self defence, where situations often end up at close range or on the ground.

  • Complete beginners

  • Adults looking to improve fitness and confidence

  • Anyone wanting a safe, structured martial arts environment

You do not need previous experience or high fitness levels to start.


What to Expect in Your First Jiu Jitsu Class

Your first class will be relaxed, friendly, and beginner-focused. Sessions usually include:

  • A warm-up to improve movement and flexibility

  • Step-by-step technique instruction

  • Partner drills to practise safely

  • Optional controlled sparring as you progress
