Brazilian Jiu Jitsu : A Formidable Combat Sport
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu , known as BJJ, is a one-on-one combat sport that focuses on submission holds and chokes to defeat opponents. It is widely recognized as one of the most effective martial arts in mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions like the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Drawing inspiration from wrestling, BJJ has gained global popularity for its practicality and versatility.
Training at Newport MMA
Newport Mixed Martial Arts offers BJJ training for all ages, starting from four years old. Students can choose to train in either the traditional gi or no gi attire. The gi, a martial arts uniform, is commonly worn, but the no gi option allows for training in athletic shorts and a rash guard or compression shirt. This flexibility makes BJJ an attractive choice for those seeking self-defense skills that can be applied in everyday situations.
