Classes

Adults Jiu-Jitsu classes

Our adult classes are open to complete beginners or to those whom have a wide range of skills and experience. We have a structured fundamentals program which aims to guide the beginner student through all the basic positions, the positional hierarchy, strategy and principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

You will learn how to utilises body weight, grips and leverage to unbalance your opponent and achieve a controlling position leading to a submission (Joint lock or choke), both from standing and ground position.

We also have dedicated class time to those more advanced and for those wishing to further develop their own game. These classes will further expand on fundamental positions while allowing the individual to drill, problem solve and self direct their own learning.

We aim to provide an environment which allows the student to understand their own learning capabilities and develop their own problem solving skills.

A typical class will involve a warm-up, followed by technical instruction, specific positional sparring or timed sparring rounds.

Often classes will focus on a particular strategy or goal within live sparring. This could be the focus on a particular submission, positional control or detail within a technique. This allows for greater skill development of the chosen technique and faster improvement.

Competition classes focus on the rules of competition, strategy, developing your own competition game and aim to emulate a competition environment.

Kids and Teens Jiu-Jitsu

(ages 5-7/8-12)

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is very different to other forms of fitness activities or martial arts, mainly because it does not require a high level of athleticism, strength or speed to be successful in self defence or sport. Often we see the opposite, any body type, size, or gender can participate and become highly skilled and successful.

Our classes allow students to develop their social skills, physical literacy, strength, fitness, coordination and flexibility. Each student will be given the opportunity through a structured program to develop their technical Jiu-Jitsu, self-defence, interpersonal, social and emotional skills. Classes consist of a broad scope of techniques, games, movements and controlled sparring.

Every child is unique in their stature, learning ability and physical characteristics which encourages creativity and their own style. They will learn the fundamental positions and aim to become proficient in the foundational skills of BJJ.

A typical class will involve a warm-up, practice of fundamental concepts and skills of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, followed by live controlled sparring.

Our goal is to provide a positive, fun and disciplined environment with the aim for students to learn, develop and grow their self defence and Jiu-Jitsu skills. But also engage with their team mates and develop confidence, self esteem, focus and resilience.
