Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling style characterised by groundwork. The aim is to defeat opponents using techniques like joint locks and chokes. It is a sparring-based martial art, often referred to as “rolling,” where practitioners can apply the techniques they learn without holding back. BJJ does not involve striking, making it a form of fighting without hurting.
BJJ has gained popularity because it is an essential component of mixed martial arts (MMA).
In Gi classes, participants train while wearing a jacket and pants called a “Gi. ” If someone does not have a Gi, they can message the club in advance, and arrangements can be made to lend one. Submission Grappling, also known as NoGi, is a similar style but does not involve wearing a Gi. Instead, participants wear shorts, t-shirts, or compression wear like rashguards.
Submission Grappling tends to be more dynamic and involves a lot of wrestling.
