Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

BJJ is a martial art that focuses on bringing the opponent to the ground as quickly as possible - through a takedown, throw or shoot - and then continue with the fight on the ground. The object of the game is to make the opponent give up as quickly as possible by means of various holds, locks and chokes. Moving the fight to the ground removes the advantage a more skilled standing fighter has.

MMA / UFC

This can also be seen in the main Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions, of which the UFC is an example. Most of these matches are decided on the ground. It is therefore important for every fighter, of whatever discipline, to master the ground fight. Practice shows that 80% of street fights end on the ground.

Technique beats strength

BJJ uses techniques that work on the fundament of leverage, timing and weight distribution. This allows a smaller, weaker person to win against bigger, stronger opponents. This is not just theory, as in most martial arts, but this is everyday practice during training and sparring on the mat. Do you want to experience this yourself?
