About US
Our mat space on a bright summer day
Superior to Judo and to traditional Jujutsu in both its use of leverage and its focus on using submission holds to finish fights, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is the most effective grappling art in the world. BJJ in general, and No-Gi Jiu Jitsu (without the use of a kimono), employs the use of angles, leverages, and complex technical progressions to control and overwhelm opponents, inevitably leading to a submission. BJJ is the only martial art in existence that allows a practitioner to easily control an untrained opponent without hurting themselves or their assailant. Jiu Jitsu can be used in sport competitions or in a self defense scenario and tends to be the most effective way of neutralizing and submitting an opponent. It incorporates takedown techniques with an array of control positions to gain an advantage once a fight hits the ground, whether you are on your back or in a dominant position.
At Summit Jiu Jitsu our coaches have a huge amount of grappling experience for competitive sport Jiu Jitsu, Mixed Martial art competition and general self defense. We offer classes for all skill levels, where new students can join advanced students to learn and progress together. Classes offer precise technical instruction, movement drills, technique repetition and live sparring all in a controlled environment. Whether you are young or old, male or female, in shape or out of shape, Jiu Jitsu is a great way to expend energy and learn useful skills.
