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.

My 7 year old son started BJJ in January of this year. He enjoyed classes from day 1. The coach, Joao, is highly experienced and great with kids, finding a... read more great balance between having fun and more serious learning. My son has tried a few martial arts classes and this one is the one he has enjoyed the most and stuck with the longest. The children's classes are becoming quite popular and therefore busier than ideal, but Joao is introducing additional time slots (weekends too) and that should help with numbers. It's got a family feel to it, I'd recommend it to any parent considering BJJ for their child. Note adult classes are also available!
