https://www.lsesu.com/activities/sports/clubs/12217/ Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defence system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.
2. BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. It is the preferred choice of ground martial art used by most MMA fighters today, such as Conor Mcgregor, George St Pierre and Dustin Poirier.
3. Do I have to have prior experience? The basic answer is that you need no prior experience to start and you do not need to have to be at a certain fitness level either. Over time and through regular attendance you will get naturally fitter, stronger and faster. Remember even the most experienced people in the gym started from nothing and everyone is a beginner at some point!
4. What do I need to bring/wear to a class? Members have a choice of training with or without a gi. If you decide not to train with a gi, just wear something comfortable, eg. Shorts & a t-shirt.
5. When and where are training sessions? We will be holding a training session on Wednesdays from 6-8 pm and an open mat session on Sundays from 10-12 pm. These will take place in the Badminton Court in the Old Building.
