WHAT IS JIU-JITSU?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ for short, is known as the gentle art and became popularised as the ground game in the UFC. BJJ is mostly a ground-grappling martial art, with standing components from Judo and Wrestling.

The ethos of the sport is to enable a smaller, lighter fighter to be able to successfully subdue a larger, stronger opponent. Hence making for a great form of self defense.

Wards Jiu Jitsu is an affiliate of the Carlson Gracie Team in Australia. Headed up by head instructor and black belt Gavin Ward.

WHO IS IT FOR?

BJJ is suitable for anyone looking to compete in the sport of Jiu Jitsu or develop the necessary and practical skills for self defense. No prior martial arts experience or fitness level is required. A general session includes a warm up, 2 -3 techniques that are demonstrated and drilled with a partner and finally rolling (sparring) where you get to implement the techniques you have learnt. Don’t worry, the higher ranked practitioners will go easy on you and help you with your progression.

If you’re looking to improve your fitness, build confidence and have fun learning useful life skills then come give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

    THE WARD’S GYM DIFFERENCE

    There are many different teaching styles within Jiu Jitsu. They vary wildly from competition specific schools chasing championships, to self-defence oriented schools steeped in tradition. Wards Jiu Jitsu strikes the perfect balance between competition specific Jiu Jitsu to the practical application of it’s techniques in the real world.

    Wards Jiu Jitsu trains people from all walks of life. We have Police Officers wanting to gain a tactical advantage for use on the street, to young actresses wanting to learn martial arts for their showreels. Everyone has different motives behind why the come to us, but we all share the same goal on the mats. Self improvement and the improvement of those around us. We pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming, and encouraging training space. We all started at the beginning, and we all remember what it’s like.

    Our head instructor Professor Gavin received his black belt under Ben Hall, representing the Carlson Gracie Team and carrying on the Carlson Gracie Legacy. Members signing up for BJJ will also be allowed to train in our other Strength and Conditioning classes on offer at Wards Gym to help improve their fitness for BJJ. Give us a call to speak about all the benefits you’ll receive from being on our BJJ membership.
