BJJ & MMA

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. 

    

EQUIPMENT (BJJ) 

Very little equipment is needed , here is a list below :

• Gumshield (if sparring) 

• Rashguard (recommended, but not mandatory. A sports top is okay but most people wear rash guards)

Please ensure all piercings are removed or taped before and all nails are trimmed short to reduce cuts.
