Apex MMA: Jiu-Jitsu
The Gentle Art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Apex MMA
WHY STUDY JIU-JITSU?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), a ground-based grappling sport, focuses on leverage, and joint manipulation, prioritising technique over size and strength. With proper execution, it enables a smaller person to control a larger and stronger opponent.
Jiu-Jitsu prepares you for real-world fights that often end on the ground by teaching safe transitions from standing to ground combat, helping you outsmart your opponent.
Benefits of Jiu-Jitsu
SELF DEFENCE
Jiu-Jitsu provides skills to protect yourself from larger opponents, remain calm in high-pressure situations, and evade danger.
PHYSICAL FITNESS
Jiu-Jitsu provides a full-body workout, boosting strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. It’s a fun and challenging way to get fit.
CONFIDENCE & FOCUS
Jiu-Jitsu training enhances confidence as you learn self-defence and grow more at ease with physical challenges.
