Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

There are many forms of close quarter grappling martial arts, however Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is amongst the very finest.

BJJ promotes and effectively utilizes technique and leverage by applying joint-locks and choke holds to defeat much larger opponents.

"Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for the protection of the individual: the older man, the weak, the child, the lady, the young woman or anyone who doesn't have the physical attributes to defend themselves. ... Helio Gracie

Middleton Martial Arts Academy teaches BJJ and although it is a very effective martial art it is also a relatively safe one to participate in. We like to teach in a friendly and welcoming environment and always remember that everyone has had to start as a beginner, so as a club we take great pride in understanding this by all helping each other.

There are many benefits to training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu some of which are...

Self defence
Fitness
Losing weight and keeping weight off
Stress Relief
Learning through Thinking & Problem Solving
Making New Friends
