    “Adult Gi Jiu Jitsu”

    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is an art based in ground fighting. Along with this, it teaches takedowns, takedown defense, ground control, and especially submissions. Submissions refer to holds that either cut off an opponent’s air supply (chokes) or look to take advantage of a joint (such as armbars).
    We are specialised in using the leverage of the body to move the opponent and take advantage of the opponent’s strength to use against themselves. The use of grips and the GI (kimono) is a very important weapon to develop the techniques. Its possible to see the smaller controlling the Bigger person. Also very good for fitness, Stamina, weight loss, Self – confidence, self- esteem etc…
    The option of fighting while on our back on the mat in such an effective way,  is something that separates our art from most other grappling

    “Adult No Gi”

    No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu utilises the principles of BJJ – leverage, position, hip movement etc. – and employs a full range of BJJ submissions and defences but is trained without the jacket or ‘Gi’ uniform. This removes the option to take a hold of collars, sleeves and lapels and makes the art faster paced and more explosive.
    No-Gi BJJ is a great base for people wanting to compete in Mixed Martial Arts events and also helps develop a BJJ student’s game further, removing their reliance on clothing grips.

    “MMA”
    Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that incorporates a wide variety of martial arts techniques and strategies. Fighters with a strong background in one particular art can compete in MMA, although to fight at the highest levels of the sport it is seen as necessary to have a sound grasp of all three base arts – striking, jiu-jitsu and wrestling.
    The combat sport of Vale Tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
    In due course the more dangerous Vale Tudo style bouts of the early UFCs were made safer with the implementation of additional rules, aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote mainstream acceptance of the sport, leading to the popular regulated form of MMA seen today.
    Training in MMA consists of technique drills and live sparring sessions, with classes emphasising both single arts and combinations of techniques from different styles.

    “Womens only Self Defense/Strength Conditioning
    All forms of grappling, particularly Jiu-Jitsu, are incredibly beneficial for women. Apart from the huge boosts to health, fitness and confidence that women gain from training,  there is no better way to learn to deal with the pressure of an attack than trying to apply your techniques against resistance while sparring on the ground.This class is designed to teach women only how to defend themselves along with getting the mind and body into total shape..a must for all women
