What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, self-defence system and combat sport which uses grappling and positional control to gain a dominant position over the opponent which leads to a submission hold.
It is founded on the concept that a smaller, weaker person can control and defend themselves against a stronger, heavier opponent. Developing these principles in practice, the practitioner aims to develop a core understanding of the positional hierarchy and how to control their own movement as well as their opponents which leads to a submission hold.
Live training or “rolling” plays a major role in developing the practitioners effectiveness and their own game, which makes it a highly effective method for promoting physical fitness, self-confidence and character.
