Elite Jiu-Jitsu is a renowned martial arts school located in London, offering world-class training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Under the expert tutelage of Jed Hue, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and one of Europe's top No-Gi Submission Grappling Competitors, Elite Jiu-Jitsu aims to provide its students with the tools to become stronger and better versions of themselves.
At Elite Jiu-Jitsu, the belief is that martial arts instils a sense of self-awareness that enables individuals to make better decisions in stressful situations. Whether you are a dedicated competitor or a hobbyist with a full-time job, Elite Jiu-Jitsu strives to impart this self-awareness to all of its students.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, often known as the “fastest growing Martial Art in the world,” is a highly effective and reality-based fighting system. Developed by the Gracie Family, it focuses primarily on ground fighting, as 90% of fights tend to end up on the ground. The goal of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is to put an opponent into compromising ground positions where joint locks and chokes can be applied to force them to submit.
While grappling can seem chaotic to the untrained eye, it is actually a cerebral game of creating traps for your opponents and testing their wits against yours. Your success in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not defined by your strength, athleticism, or weight, but rather by your ability to understand the challenges in front of you and how to overcome them.
Elite Jiu-Jitsu offers both No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. No-Gi BJJ is generally faster paced and does not rely on the use of a uniform (Gi) for additional control. Instead, practitioners must utilise their body to form wedges and effectively control and submit their opponents. No-Gi BJJ also places more emphasis on attacking and controlling the lower half of an opponent's body, specifically the legs.
On the other hand, Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is taught in the traditional martial arts uniform called a Gi. This style of BJJ allows practitioners to use the material of the Gi to aid in controlling and submitting their opponents. Often perceived as slower paced than No-Gi BJJ, Gi BJJ provides practitioners with more time to think and strategically plan their next moves.
Elite Jiu-Jitsu is located at the Leegate Dojo, situated in Unit 17 of the Leegate Shopping Centre in London (SE12 8SS). The school offers a comprehensive timetable of classes to accommodate various schedules and commitments.
