I am going thru the entire grading structure at the moment to cull some things and reinforce it with more up to date material i’ll keep you posted..Also i will be introducing a fitness test system for all levels performed 1 month prior to grading this will ensure you are ready and able on the  day !!..The tests themselves will be gleaned from the fitness tests of elite fighting forces such as the SAS…Navy seals…Commandos and more … And will become progressively more challenging as you move up the ranks this will also ensure the highest possible standards are being met …Also dont forget the 500 challenge ….500 rounds of sparring  in a calender year all sparring contributes to this chi sau sparring , cross arm , hand fighting ..fingerless gloves , 16 ounce …So all rounds must be timed !!… Okay thats alot to digest

Some Background on BJJ

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combative sport predicated on ground fighting (ne-waza) and submission holds. It focuses on the artfulness of taking an adversary to the ground, containing one’s opponent, obtaining a dominant position, and applying a number of ways to compel them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was developed around 1920 by Brazilian siblings Carlos, Oswaldo, GastãoJr., George, and Hélio Gracie, after Carlos was tutored traditional Kodokan judo by a travelling Japanese judoka, Mitsuyo Maeda, in 1917. Afterward they developed their own self- defense system along with their cousins the Machado family.

BJJ ultimately became to be its own delineated combat sport through the coinages, practices, and adaption of “Gracie” Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, and became an integral martial art for contemporary MMA. Controlling bodies resemblant as the IBJJF work worldwide, and set the rules and norms to be held in sport BJJ competitions.

BJJ revolves around the notion that a lesser, weaker person can successfully uphold him/ herself against a larger, stronger, hefty opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the floor and using a opus of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ practice can be used for sport grappling and self- defense situations. (4) Sparring, generally referred to as” rolling”within the BJJ circles, and real-time drilling plays a large part in training and the exponent’s development. BJJ can also be used as a system of promoting physical fitness, nurturing character, and as a way of life.
