Groundgame Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Godalming

What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The art was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan judo (which itself is derived from Japanese Jujutsu) in the early 20th century. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique – most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training promotes fitness, heightens body awareness through movement, enforces discipline, teaches self defence and is most importantly incredibly fun. It is a system that can be practised by anyone of any age group and gender
