What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo (which itself is derived from Japanese Jujutsu) in the early 20th century.

It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person.

 

BJJ training promotes fitness, heightens body awareness through movement, enforces discipline, teaches self defence and is most importantly incredibly fun.

It is a system that can be practised by anyone of any age group and gender

"There is  no losing in Jiu Jitsu.

You either WIN or you LEARN"

"Teach the mind to control the body and everything else will follow"

What to bring / What you need

Godalming Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy teaches Gi / Kimono and No Gi classes.

-For our Gi classes, the Gi or Kimono is used in our techniques that we teach hence having a good BJJ Kimono is essential. (Karate Taekwondo or Judo gis are not acceptable as the built and cut is different and cannot be used to perform the techniques and may even cause injuries)
-For No Gi Classes, clothing that is not too loose is highly recommended. Rashguards, shorts and legging tights are often worn as they are slim fitting, do not snag and comfortable to train in.

The correct Gis and No Gi equipment can be purchased from our instructors at a special discounted price for members (please ask the instructor for more info) or from our SHOP page.

​

Alternatively good quality and affordable BJJ Specific Kit can be bought from our academy supplier BATTLE GEAR BJJ EQUIPMENT (www.battlegearbjj.com)

​

For those just starting, please wear clothing that is not too loose that you can sweat in as there will be a lot of rolling around on the mats!
