Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Is Effective for Self Defence

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is widely recognised as one of the most effective martial arts for real-world self defence. Instead of relying on striking or physical strength, BJJ focuses on leverage, positioning and technique.

This allows a smaller person to defend themselves effectively against a larger opponent.

Students learn how to:

Escape from grabs and holds
Control situations safely
Defend themselves using technique rather than strength
Stay calm under pressure
Improve situational awareness
