Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
BJJ is one form of fighting on the ground. It can be compared to the more common fighting sports such as wrestling and judo.
BJJ is a grappling based martial art and self defence system. It was created by the Gracie brothers after modifying some techniques and philosophy of the original Japanese Jiu Jitsu.
BJJ includes comprehensive striking techniques, throws and stand-up techniques and strategies.
Our BJJ classes are given by Black Belt and head coach, Martijn Gademan, and brown belts Niels Janssen and Dustin Visser.
In the Open Mat training sessions everyone has the option to train in Gi or No-Gi (grappling). Generally the intention during these Open Mat training sessions is to repeat and practise the tactics and techniques that were introduced during that week.
