WHAT IS BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art focused on controlling an opponent through positioning, leverage and submission techniques.
Rather than relying purely on strength, BJJ teaches you how to use technique, timing and movement effectively.
Training typically includes technical instruction, partner drills and live rolling, giving you the opportunity to practise what you've learned in a realistic but controlled environment.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?
At Kumite Combat Academy, BJJ training can help you develop:
• Positional control and escapes
• Guard techniques and passing
• Takedowns and transitions
• Submission techniques
• Defence and movement
• Timing and body awareness
• Fitness and conditioning
• Confidence under pressure
EVERY SESSION GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN, PRACTISE AND IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS.

WHY TRAIN BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu offers much more than learning techniques.
Regular training can improve strength, cardiovascular fitness, mobility, coordination and problem-solving while providing an enjoyable physical and mental challenge.
For many people, the mats also become somewhere to switch off from everyday life, focus completely on training and become part of a community.
