WHAT IS BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and self-defence system focused on grappling, ground control, and technique — not size or strength. It teaches you how to neutralize larger opponents using leverage, positioning, and timing.
At Bayside BJJ, we teach this art in a way that’s safe, realistic, and empowering — whether your goal is self-defence, fitness, competition, or personal growth.
WHY BJJ?
In every class, you’ll build:
-
Practical self-defence skills that work in real situations
-
Problem-solving ability under pressure (known as “rolling” or sparring)
-
Strength, mobility, and fitness — without needing to be athletic to start
-
Confidence in your body and mindset As you train, your body adapts.
​You’ll gain strength, flexibility, and endurance — often without realizing it. Many students also find BJJ becomes a core part of their lifestyle and a powerful way to manage stress and improve focus.
