Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Singapore is a grappling-based martial art which does not involve striking (punching and kicking) – instead, it uses joint-manipulation techniques (submissions) to put opponents in a position too difficult to escape from, or uncomfortable enough to surrender (or to “tap out”). Besides learning traditional BJJ submissions, BJJ also teaches takedown techniques from Judo and wrestling.
Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes are conducted by the best BJJ instructors in the region. You will get the chance to train with them closely.
