What is BJJ?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is martial arts on the ground. Instead of striking, you learn to control your partner, escape bad positions, and get a tap with levers or chokes.

It sounds wild. Mostly it is chess with the body.

Technique beats strength – that is why BJJ works for every size and every weight.

Who is the course for?

  • Complete beginners

    You do not need to know anything. In this group everyone starts at the same time.

  • No striking

    In BJJ nobody punches or kicks. If it gets tight, you tap and it stops immediately.

  • Every fitness level

    Condition comes with training, not before it.

  • Women and men

    Mixed group. Partners change by size and experience.

The 8 weeks

  1. 1 Foundations Moving on the ground, falling safely, the main positions.
  2. 2 The guard How you fight from the bottom.
  3. 3 Mount Holding the top and escaping from underneath.

  5. 5 Guard passing Getting past the legs.

Questions about the course

I am completely unfit. Can I still join?

Yes. We start slowly and you always train with partners at your level.

How high is the injury risk?

Low, because there is no striking and you can tap at any time. We drill submissions slowly and under control.

Do I need a gi?

No. We train no-gi, in normal sports clothes.

Can I join after the course has started?

Yes, until the second session on 16 October. After that, the next course is the way in.

What happens after the 8 weeks?

You can move into regular BJJ training at BXN. You will get the details during the course.

I have done martial arts before. Is this too easy?

If you have never trained BJJ, you are in the right place. If you already have BJJ experience, write to us beforehand.
