Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and self-defence system focused on grappling and ground fighting, originating from Kodokan Judo. Developed by Luiz Franca and Carlos Gracie, it emphasises leveraging technique over size and strength, making it effective for individuals of all sizes. BJJ incorporates joint locks and chokeholds to overcome opponents and can be applied in sport grappling tournaments, mixed martial arts (MMA), or real-life self-defence situations. Training in BJJ involves intense sparring sessions, known as “rolling,” and live drilling, with a strong emphasis on performance and progression through the ranking system.
Our Coaches offer a supportive environment for practitioners to hone their skills and achieve their full potential in the discipline, fostering a supportive community and camaraderie among practitioners, creating a positive social environment for personal growth and development
With a collective experience of over 50 years in Martial arts, including Karate, Judo, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the coaches at BTB BJJ provide a comprehensive training program aimed at nurturing both physical prowess and character development. They prioritise creating a welcoming atmosphere where students are encouraged to excel, ensuring they receive guidance and support to reach their maximum capabilities.
Benefits of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Our BJJ program cultivates both physical and mental strength through dedicated training, fostering concentration, discipline, and integrity. Participants experience enhanced self-confidence, motivation, and team-building skills while refining their technique, agility, and coordination. The program emphasises a strong mind-body connection, helping practitioners develop resilience and strategic thinking as they advance in their skills.
What Age Group do we cater to?
For those aged 7 to 16, we offer specialised classes that focus on building foundational skills and enhancing technique while incorporating crucial self-defence training. These classes teach students effective grappling techniques and strategies for self-defence, emphasising how to leverage technique and body mechanics rather than relying on size or strength. This approach not only fosters physical and mental development but also equips young practitioners with practical skills for real-life situations, instilling confidence and awareness in their everyday lives.
For participants aged 16 and above, our program provides advanced training that includes a strong emphasis on self-defence tactics and practical applications. In these classes, practitioners refine their techniques and learn how to apply them effectively in real-world scenarios. The training focuses on both offensive and defensive strategies, teaching students how to handle various situations with composure and efficiency.
