Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit or be choked out depending on what submission method is used.
WHY TAKE CLASSES AT EMWJJA?
At Equipe Mestre Wilson Jiu-Jitsu Australia, we provide instruction in BJJ, the ultimate grappling art for kids!
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches the use of "technique over strength.”
Kids, no matter how big or small, learn how to use their size to their advantage to counter all kinds of punches, kicks, and holds. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant. It primarily uses takedowns to gain the dominant position.
We also use a methodology with subjects for the kids to complete on and off the mats!
