Classes For All Levels
Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a proven, effective form of self defence. You will learn the same techniques that are taught to the U.S. Army, FBI, Secret Service and many other elite military and law enforcement agencies around the world. With 95% of all streetfights ending up on the ground, Gracie Jiu Jitsu’s focus on grappling on the ground makes it the best martial art for self defence.
Adult Classes
Introductory class
The Introductory Class is a specific class for who has never trained Jiu Jitsu before.
One of our coaches shows the basics of Jiu Jitsu to a group of maximum four people in a 30 minutes session.
After the Introductory class you will have a basic understanding of what’s required in a class situation, which will give you the confidence to join the Fundamentals class.
Fundamentals Class
Our Fundamentals Programs is made to cover all the basic techniques of Gracie Jiu Jitsu. It will easily take you to the next level on a simple and fun way. Frequent practice is essential if efficiency is to be gained in the Fundamentals Class. The key to learning Jiu Jitsu is repetition. The ultimate goal is to condition your sub-conscious with Jiu Jitsu techniques so that you can automatically react in a critical situation.
Come and try it for free, just contact us and book your free introduction class with our friendly staff, we are sure that you’ll love it!
Intermediate Class
After being awarded with the 3rd stripe of the white belt, the student will be able to attend the Intermediate Program, with the option of continuing the Fundamentals Program in parallel. This is the most exciting part of your training.
Attempting to submit your training partners as they resist and counter act with their own moves is as real as it gets! You will drastically improve your conditioning, strength and confidence.
You’ll drill and work with more experienced students, benefiting your learning journey. In addition to moving up in rank and making a big progress towards mastery of the art, this will give you the experience necessary to enter the Black Belt Program.
Advanced Class
After completing the Fundamental Program, students have the opportunity to participate in the Gracie Jiu Jitu Advanced Program. In this program you will learn new techniques and combinations while refining your current skills.
The Advanced Program covers all aspects of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, including:
Self defense – advanced counters to attacks.
Sport Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – competition-style Jiu Jitsu including throws, reversals, escapes and submission holds.
Submission grappling – similar to Sport Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but trained without the traditional gi (called no-gi competitions).
Mixed Martial Arts – The modern version of “Vale Tudo” (Anything Goes) or “No Holds Barred” fighting.
