What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) was the first martial art to dominate the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and it remains one of the most effective forms of self-defence and an essential component of modern MMA. You can get your start with the art of BJJ with Wickham’s 5 Week Beginner’s BJJ Program!
A grappling-centric art, the goal of BJJ is to force your opponent into submission with joint locks and chokes. The emphasis is on technique and leverage and BJJ was designed to allow a smaller person defeat a stronger foe with ease.

Class
A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class typically starts with a warm-up that is not only designed to get you lose and ready to roll, but also to develop your skills. Hip-escapes, shoulder rolling, bridging, pummelling and other movements essential to BJJ are drilled in nearly every class. If you’ve never done these movements before, that’s fine – we’ll run you through them.
Following the warm up you are shown techniques, for example an joint lock, choke, sweep, guard pass, escape or takedown. After your coach answers any questions, you’re given an opportunity to drill it with your partner. Your coach will come around the class and make corrections where needed.
Classes run for 60 minutes. Please call 03 54825362 for more information.
