Often called “the gentle art,” BJJ is a grappling-based martial art focused on controlling and submitting an opponent on the ground. It relies on mastering principles of leverage, positioning, and technique to overcome size and strength, creating a functional system for self-defence and combat sports.
What To Expect
Our Modern BJJ program has been developed over 10+ years of coaching, led by our BJJ black belt Brandon Odger.
Classes are structured into three phases: a warm-up comprising of revision and wrestling, a core segment of technical instruction and partner drilling, and a final block of live rolling (sparring) to apply your skills. Our classes cater to all experience levels, from complete beginners to seasoned grapplers.
The Essentials
To get the most out of your session, please come prepared with a few essentials. Clean attire such as a rashguard/tshirt and shorts/spats are required for training. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and ensure nails a cut short and any open wounds are covered.
Most importantly, come with a positive attitude. Being ready to learn and put in the effort is the key to a great training experience.
