SELF DEFENSE

BJJ is a self-defense martial art and combat sport based on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds. 

It focuses on the skill of :

  • controlling one's opponent
  • gaining a dominant position
  •  using a number of techniques to force them in to submission via joint locks or chokeholds. 

BJJ teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger & heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution to take the fight to the ground and then using submissions to defeat them.

BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defense situations. Sparring, commonly referred to as "rolling" within the BJJ community, and live drilling play a major role in training and the practitioner's development. BJJ is a martial art, a sport, a method of promoting physical fitness and building character, and a way of life.
