pure art bjj brazilian jiu-jitsu - martial arts
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, also known as BJJ, is one of the most popular and
fastest-growing martial arts in the world. Exceptionally effective for hand to
hand combat and self defence, BJJ is similar to a mix of Judo and Wrestling and
relies on technique and leverage rather than strength and brute force. BJJ
Lesson It's one of the most effective, well-proven, and well respected martial
arts for person to person combat on the planet. Heavily relied upon in MMA
(Mixed Martial Arts), it's tried and tested, with its effectiveness having been
proven beyond doubt in the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championships. It has a heavy
focus on grappling, joint locks, choke submissions etc and especially ground
fighting as this is where most fights end up! Great for Self Defence! Most
fights and physical altercations end up on the ground. You don't see this in
combat sports that concentrate on standing fighting such as boxing and
kickboxing etc, as there is a referee to separate both combatants once the range
(distance) between them closes down into wrestling range. In the real world,
most situations quickly end up on the ground. BJJ Lesson Being able to take a
single opponent to the ground and control them while you apply techniques that
will render them incapacitated is a highly effective, tested, and proven fight
strategy. But it's also equally beneficial to be able to prevent or defend
yourself if taken to the ground against your will and also have the ability to
return to standing again and escape if need be. Unlike many clubs that nowadays
only practise BJJ's sports element, at Pure Art BJJ, we also practice the full
syllabus of practical, easy to apply, and effective self defence techniques
considered a fundamental component of the original art as well as incorporating
contemporary self defence strategies and tactics. Fantastic For Fitness! A
session of BJJ is physically demanding. The constant movement provides a
fantastic workout and builds powerful functional strength as well as good
cardio. The fluidity of motion and stretching it provides is also great for your
flexibility. Highly Effective! BJJ uses live rolling, a highly addictive form of
sparring similar to wrestling, as an important part of its training. Partners
will attempt to control and apply submission techniques on each other while
resisting, releasing them once their partner taps before any injury can occur.
BJJ Lesson Due to the fact the art is grappling rather than strike based,
partners can fully resist techniques allowing each other to test and experience
using them for real without fear of causing injury. You will gain confidence and
knowledge that the ability you have achieved now works for real. Due to this
live practice method, practitioners can gain a very effective ability in a short
time. Just like you wouldn't learn tennis without getting on a court and having
a game, you cannot learn to fight without doing it. BJJ offers you a safe and
practical way to do this. There is no doubting or imagining that what you have
learned works with this martial art. Works Regardless of Size or Strength! BJJ
uses leverage and science to allow a smaller person to overcome a larger person
regardless of size, gender, or age. Instead of relying on muscle, strength, and
brute force. Portsmouth Martial Arts Club Superb for Weight Loss! BJJ is an
excellent form of exercise. You will burn lots of calories during a session and
find yourself wanting to eat healthier due to the enhanced ability and energy
this will give you both on and off the mats, and the positive lifestyle BJJ
promotes. Way More Fun than Joining a Gym! BJJ provides exercise as part of an
enjoyable activity rather than exercising for its own sake, which can quickly
become repetitive and boring. So you're more likely to stick with it and get
results. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Class Training More importantly, it's also way more
productive and rewarding as you are gaining a lifelong skill and ability, which
may save your life while gaining fitness and enhancing your physique at the same
time. It's also great for dealing with stress and gaining balance in your life.
The positive life rewards of Jiu-Jitsu go way beyond gaining skill in fighting,
and at Pure Art BJJ, we foster a positive, enjoyable atmosphere in all classes,
which means you will leave feeling great! Does it actually work! Yes. Unlike all
the kicking and punching the air or bags you may find in other martial arts, you
will gain real experience of its use under live pressure and experience its
powerful effectiveness for yourself within a few classes. Time is precious, so
why waste it? Do I Need Anything to start? No, just wear loose, comfortable
clothing and bring a drink of water. Your first session with us is completely
Free to try! When you decide to get a Gi (training outfit), we recommend Valor
Fightwear. Their Gis are great value and excellent quality with fast delivery.
