Although we have been running our general grappling classes at Southern Cross since 2014, we are now running our own BJJ program, enriched by a background in Judo and other grappling arts.
Whether you’re an adult aiming to improve your fitness and self-defence skills or a parent looking for a positive, developmental activity for your child, our BJJ classes provide a supportive and engaging environment.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dynamic martial art that specializes in ground fighting and submissions. With its roots in traditional Japanese Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, BJJ emphasizes leverage and technique over brute strength, allowing practitioners to effectively control opponents and defend themselves through skilful grappling.
This martial art not only enhances physical fitness—boosting strength, flexibility, and endurance—but also fosters mental resilience, discipline, and strategic thinking.
