Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Classes

Now offered at Axé Capoeira Toronto!

 

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. It teaches that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using leverage and proper technique—most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition, in relation to progress and ascension through its ranking system.

F.A.Q's:

Are there women in your BJJ classes?

- Yes! Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is great excercise, but also very effective self-defense that can save your life! Although the majority of our BJJ students are males, there are always other women in class. The atmosphere is very respectful and empowering for everyone.

I have never done martial arts, can I still participate?
- Yes. No experience is necessary and you do not need to be in a certain shape to take part in our classes. There are new beginners joining everyday and many ask themselves the same question: "Why didn't I join this earlier?!". If you have never done any form of exercise or have health concerns, we highly recommend to consult your physician prior to taking part in any physicall activity.

What should I wear?

- For Capoeira, wear comfortable and breathable pants (no shorts or jeans please) and t-shirt / top. For Muay Thai, BJJ and dance, any type of comfortable shorts or pants and a regular t-shirt is perfect.

Do I need a partner?
- No. Although a partner is not necessary, we hightly recommend having a friend join with you as this has been proven to help keep both of you motivated and focused on achieving your goal (fitness and/or skill level).
