Understanding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: The Gentle Art

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that revolutionises the concept of self defense. Unlike striking arts, BJJ focuses on grappling, ground control, and submissions. This "gentle art" teaches practitioners how to:

  • Control opponents through leverage and technique rather than brute strength.

  • Take fights to the ground where size advantages are minimised.

  • Apply submissions using joint locks and chokeholds.

  • Defend against larger, stronger attackers using proper positioning and timing


Often described as "physical chess," Brazilian Jiu Jitsu combines intense physical training with strategic thinking, making it an excellent workout for both body and mind.
