GI

This is how Jiu Jitsu is traditionally taught. With the gi simulating clothes you’ll learn how to use leverages that will enable you to execute a throw and control your opponent more efficiently – you will be able to test the techniques learnt during sparring.

  • Great place to learn BJJ from zero. Classes are structured and safe, newcomers are welcome.
