Come try Brazilian Jiu Jitsu!
BJJ is a grappling (wrestling-based) sport focused on controlling and submitting an opponent using chokeholds and joint locks. We also do a lot of standup work, including takedowns and grip fighting. We place a strong emphasis on live sparring (rolling), allowing you to apply techniques against fully resisting training partners in a safe and controlled environment.
Sessions will include introducing a position and technique fundamental to BJJ, going through it to make sure everyone understands and is confident with the movement, then testing this out in a controlled manner against a similarly sized opponent. Sparring is always completely optional but we encourage testing techniques against opponents to get a feel for the real thing.
We are very beginner friendly, with most people starting BJJ at university! You are welcome to come at any point and even if you're late or can't make the full session, a small session is better than nothing :)
