Classes

Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals:

You will learn and understand the basics of distance management and leverage made famous by the Gracie family. Jiu-Jitsu is tried and tested and is also an integral part of MMA.

Jiu-Jitsu, through adaptation and innovation, has become a combat sport: with governing bodies, strict rules and regular competitions, both locally and internationally. There will be sparring, or "rolling", at the end of every class. There are no strikes in sport Jiu-Jitsu, which makes sparring much safer.

No Gi Jiu-Jitsu: the same as sport Jiu-Jitsu, but without the Gi (Jiu-Jitsu suit).
