WHAT IS BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, is a martial art based on grappling and ground fighting, focusing on the skill of controlling one’s opponent through techniques that force him or her to submit. BJJ prides itself on being known as “the gentle art”, allowing a smaller, weaker person using leverage and submissions to defend himself against a bigger opponent.

WHAT IS MMA?
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) is a blend of different martial art styles to create a comprehensive martial art that is governed by its own rules. It involves various forms of striking such as Boxing, Muay Thai and Taekwondo all blended together. Possibly even more importantly are the grappling styles involved, from Wrestling to Brazilian Jiu Juitsu and Judo.

WHAT IS MUAY THAI?
Muay Thai, sometimes referred to as Thai boxing, is a combat sport that uses stand-up striking along with various clinching techniques. This discipline is known as the “art of eight limbs”, as it is characterised by the combined use of fists, elbows, knees and shins. It is a national sport of Thailand, where it originates and has long been considered one of the most effective striking styles for MMA & self-defence.
