Many adults think about trying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but hesitate because they feel they might be too old, not fit enough, or inexperienced.

The reality is that most people who start training BJJ begin with no previous martial arts experience at all.

At Gracie Barra Artarmon, our Adults Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes are designed specifically to help beginners learn safely and build confidence step by step.

Many adults across Artarmon, Chatswood, Lane Cove and the North Shore start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for different reasons.

Some want to improve fitness. Others want to learn practical self defence or find a new challenge.
