Jiu Jitsu is a ground based system of physical training, self defence and unarmed combat sport. Jiu Jitsu provides an incredible physical and mental workout with endless variations to movements, techniques, concepts and submissions. It increases cardio and fitness, promotes weight loss, enhances reactability, coordination, self confidence and balance.
Jiu Jitsu provides an amazing outlet for stress, step on the mat and leave everything else aside whilst you learn a new activity. Jiu Jitsu can be done by anyone. It was developed so a smaller, weaker person can defend themselves against someone stronger and bigger. Regardless of size, age or limitations any person can utilise Jiu Jitsu concepts and techniques.
Teaching The Best Concepts In An Incredible Training Environment, With 40+ Jiu Jitsu And Yoga Classes A Week.
