Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a rapidly growing sport often being showcased as submission grappling at large events . It is predominantly a ground-based martial art, using the principals of leverage, angles, pressure and timing, as well as knowledge of the human anatomy, in order to achieve a submission of one's opponent. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also a very effective martial art when being used in MMA, particularly No-Gi. UWE BJJ will consist of only No-Gi
We will now also be offering MMA classes once a week. Gumshields and MMA (or Boxing) gloves are all required for MMA classes.
