What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, commonly known as BJJ, is a grappling-based martial art that focuses heavily on controlling an opponent through positioning, leverage and technique. Rather than relying primarily on punches and kicks, students learn how to grapple, control positions, escape difficult situations and apply submission techniques. Because BJJ is highly technical, students continually learn how timing, positioning and effective use of leverage can overcome strength alone.

Jiu-Jitsu Different?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is sometimes described as physical problem-solving. During training, your opponent is constantly moving, defending and trying to improve their own position, meaning you have to continually adapt.
Students don't simply memorise techniques. They learn to recognise situations, make decisions and apply the right technique at the right moment.
