If you're in Wigan and interested in BJJ classes, MC Kali Group is the place to be. They offer Combat Submission Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CSBJJ), a ground-based martial arts system that focuses on joint locks, chokes, guard passes, sweeps, and takedowns, all in the gi. This effective and efficient approach to BJJ is taught by MCKG head instructor, Mel Corrigan, who has studied under the renowned Professor Erik Paulson, a 5th degree BJJ black belt and world-class mixed martial artist.
Professor Erik Paulson himself trained under the Gracie family, including Rorion, Royce, and Rickson Gracie, before eventually becoming a student of Professor Rigan Machado. With his extensive knowledge and experience, he developed the CSBJJ programme that has become a staple in the BJJ community. Under his guidance, MC Kali Group offers classes that teach you how to control your opponent in the gi, defend yourself, secure your position, and attack with submissions.
If you prefer no-gi classes, MC Kali Group also holds two no-gi CSW classes a week. These classes focus on the same principles and techniques but without the gi, allowing for a different style of training.
Students at MC Kali Group not only benefit from the physical aspects of BJJ but also the discipline it provides and the practical self-defence skills it teaches. This martial art is suitable for everyone, regardless of experience level. Whether you're a complete beginner or already have grappling experience, you'll find a welcoming environment at MC Kali Group. In fact, the club boasts a number of female students who regularly attend the mixed, adult BJJ classes in Wigan.
For CSBJJ classes, a BJJ gi (uniform) is required. If you don't have one, you can order through the club in black, blue, or white. If you prefer, you can also borrow a gi for a fee of £5 per use. MC Kali Group follows the traditional BJJ belt system of white, blue, purple, brown, and black belts, with each belt acquiring 4 stripes before progressing to the next colour.
So, if you're looking to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Wigan, MC Kali Group is the place to be. Join their classes and become part of a thriving BJJ community taught by experienced instructors. Don't miss out on the opportunity to improve your skills and discover the world of BJJ.
