Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a self-defence art whose central theme is to allow for a smaller person to control and overcome an aggressor of greater size and strength by utilizing superior leverage and position. 

​

In addition to practical self-defence strategies, students can greatly benefit in a variety of other ways, including increased physical fitness and increased mental acuity/problem-solving skills. It also provides the social benefits of fellowship and working out with a group of like-minded people, especially fellow Christians that encourage and build one another up physically, mentally and spiritually as they learn and have fun together.

​

Due to the fact that many real-life self-defence altercations end up on the ground, and that it is often preferable for a smaller defender to control and neutralize a larger opponent’s aggression on the ground rather than in a standing position, many of the techniques involved in BJJ are centred around the skill of defeating an opponent on the ground and escaping from dominant positions.

​

Surprising as it may seem to many, self-defence training may become an extremely uplifting and enjoyable aspect of your life, should you choose to try it out. It is a thorough workout with a strongly cerebral aspect that will truly capture your imagination, while giving you confidence, knowledge, body-dexterity and fitness that few people will ever achieve. And it’s a lot of fun!​
