What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art with roots in traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu. In 1914, a Japanese named Mitsuyo Maeda — also known as Count Koma — arrived in Brazil and began teaching his techniques in Belém do Pará. Among his students was Carlos Gracie, who, together with his younger brother Hélio, helped shape and transform the art.
Hélio, being smaller in stature and with delicate health, adapted the techniques to rely less on physical strength and more on leverage, timing, and positioning. This made the art highly effective for people of all body types. The Gracie family went on to demonstrate through countless matches that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu allows a smaller, weaker practitioner to successfully defend against a larger, stronger opponent.
Over time, BJJ evolved beyond self-defence into a way of life — emphasising discipline, respect, and continuous learning. Today, it is practised worldwide both as a martial art and a competitive sport, and it remains one of the most effective forms of grappling and ground fighting.

Why Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu goes far beyond martial arts — it transforms body, mind, and lifestyle. On the mats, you’ll experience:
Practical self-defence skills you can rely on
BJJ equips you with proven techniques to protect yourself in real-life situations. By focusing on leverage and control, it allows you to defend effectively, regardless of size or strength.
Weight loss and improved fitness through challenging but fun training
Every class is a full-body workout that burns calories, builds endurance, and improves cardiovascular health — all while keeping training enjoyable and varied.
Greater strength, flexibility, and coordination with every session
From drills to sparring, BJJ develops functional strength and mobility. Over time, your body becomes more agile, coordinated, and resilient.
A boost in self-confidence and self-esteem, both on and off the mats
As you master new techniques and overcome challenges, your confidence grows — not only in training but in everyday life as well.
Stress relief and mental clarity, helping you feel balanced in daily life
BJJ demands focus, pushing you to be fully present. It’s a powerful way to release stress, clear your mind, and improve mental well-being.
