What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art based on ground work and submission holds. As one of the most effective forms of self defence, BJJ utilises leverage, position and grip to overcome the opponent regardless of their size and strength. Students of BJJ acquire a deep understanding of the movement patterns and mechanisms within the human body, whilst gaining greater self awareness, problem solving abilities and increased physical fitness.
At Martial Arts and Yoga we provide the following classes for all ages and levels of experience:
Tiny Pandas : 4-6 year olds
Our Tiny Pandas programme for young children is a playful introduction to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, focussing on core skills through games and team building activities. Supporting physical development and self regulation, these classes will build your child's self esteem and promote resilience, providing a fantastic opportunity to make friends and keep active!
BJJ for Kids : 7-12 year olds
These are fun and friendly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes where children can learn a life skill in a safe environment, whilst developing a strong and healthy body. This programme will help your child gain confidence, improve focus, increase self-discipline and give the tools to face life's challenging encounters.
ABC Course: for Beginners (Teens & Adults)
Our 8 week ABC course is the ideal introduction into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). The course is specifically designed by Roberto Almeida (4th Degree Black Belt) to give students a strong foundation in all aspects of BJJ including self defence, closing distance and performing basic takedowns, learning attacks and escapes from essential BJJ positions. At the end of the course you should have a good understanding of the basics of BJJ to join our regular open level class.
