Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art whose central theme is the skill of controlling a resisting opponent in ways that force him to submit.
Unlike some other martial arts, BJJ does not focus on kicking or punching. The focus is on a safe grappling technique that can be done on a daily basis with no more fear of injury than any other contact sport. Jiu-jitsu promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique (the direct translation of ‘jiu-jitsu’ is ‘gentle art’).
Kids Jiu Jitsu
Jiu-jitsu is like a game of chess, the children who understand how to keep calm under pressure and solve the problems they face logically, progress the quickest!
Jiu jitsu gives children a self defence system to combat aggression and conflict with composure and poise. Increasing their confidence, making them more robust mentally and physically and improves their decision making abilities in everyday life!
