Discover the Power of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is the ultimate martial art that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. Its goal? To achieve a dominant position and force your opponent to ‘knock down’ as quickly as possible. What makes BJJ unique is the principle that ‘soft wins over hard’ – even a smaller, weaker person can defend against a bigger, stronger opponent, as long as the right techniques are applied.
Whether you practice BJJ for self-defence, or to compete in exciting grappling or mixed martial arts (MMA) tournaments, the focus is always on improving your performance. It is a dynamic, physically and mentally challenging discipline where sparring and repeating techniques are essential for progress.
Some people also know BJJ as Gracie Jiu Jitsu (GJJ), a name associated with Rorion Gracie and his teachers. Other members of the famous Gracie family, such as Charles and Renzo Gracie, have their own unique approaches to the art, but all styles fall under the rubric of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
BJJ is also distinguished by a special graduation system, whereby the attainment of higher belts is determined by both defeating opponents and participating in competitions. This makes for a very personal and performance-oriented way of progressing.
