What is BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a popular and rapidly growing combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting techniques instead of strikes and kicks. It involves two main variants: Gi (with kimono) and No-Gi (without kimono). Techniques include throws, takedowns, and submission holds such as chokes and joint locks. BJJ improves physical fitness, coordination, and spatial awareness.
Who is BJJ for?
BJJ is suitable for men and women aged 15 and above. It is beneficial for those interested in self-defense, as it allows one to subdue opponents safely. Classes teach precision techniques for self-defense and competition.
