Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport and a self- defence grappling system. BJJ promotes the concept that smaller, weaker persons can successfully defend themselves against bigger, stronger assailants by taking the fight to the ground, controlling the other person via leverage and weight distribution and then submitting them with joint-locks or strangles. 

'"Jits" training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi or no-gi), MMA competition and self-defense situations. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live, isolated drilling play a major role in training and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progression and ascension through its ranking system.

The Foundation BJJ program outlines the main concepts and context, positions and strategies required to roll safely and effectively at SBG Australia.
