Home – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Children
Originating in Japan and refined in Brazil, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has revolutionised the modern understanding of combat sports.
BJJ first came to global prominence when BJJ expert Royce Gracie won the first, second and fourth Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) utilising a highly developed submission game.
In jiu-jitsu, you will focus on grappling, groundfighting and submissions. No matter your physical size, strength or bodyweight you will learn to utilise your characteristics and develop your own unique style of fighting.
At Praetorian MMA we teach both gi and nogi jiu-jitsu. Gi jiu-jitsu involves wearing the tradional judoka clothing, whereas nogi involves wearing more relaxed t-shirt and shorts. Feel free to choose either one, or like many of our practioners, choose both!
This class is family themed where all ages can participate from ages 4+.
Yes our lessons are designed for complete beginners or those with previous but limited experience. Do not worry about your current state of physical fitness as this will improve quickly with every lesson you attend.
Expect to feel like a beginner. Martial Arts and ESPECIALLY Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu take time to learn, BJJ taking the longest to achieve a black belt than any other art. Expect to get frustrated. Expect to humble yourself. Be prepared to do drills with a partner. In the beginning u will learn things like what it means to be half guard or full guard, so basics. Except that there’s no shortcut in BJJ and that the path to mastery is a long one. If you think that you will truly master BJJ in under a decade you’re dreaming. The quickest anyone’s ever achieved a black belt in BJJ was BJ Penn who did it in 3 years!!
