About the Business
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and grappling sport that arose from early judo during the 1920’s. Refined and adapted over the years, BJJ utilises techniques that control an opponent on the ground in order to apply submission techniques (eg joint locks). The beauty of the system is that through the use of correct technique, a smaller yet skilled individual can control and submit a much larger yet less skilled person.

BJJ is a pressure tested martial art and sparring is the key component of the system where participants can test their skills against a fully resisting partner. Although sparring is challenging (and most beginners will spend the majority of their time trying to escape from certain positions) it is a perfectly safe activity. If at any moment a submission technique appears to be inescapable, the tap rule comes into play (the losing partner must tap their partner’s body or emit a verbal tap to signify defeat). There are no strikes or kicks allowed.

What Can I expect in a typical class?

A typical class begins with a warm up routine featuring movements and drills that are a fundamental component of BJJ techniques. This is followed by the technical portion of the class where you will learn and practice two or three techniques with a compliant partner. The final part of the class involves sparring against a resisting partner. We end with a stretch/warm down and brief overview of the techniques of the day.

Seymour Yang began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2003. He was awarded his black belt in 2015 by his instructor Nick Brooks (2nd degree black belt under multiple World Champion Roger Gracie) and Mauricio Gomes (7th degree red and black belt). He is a proud member of the UKBJJA and is DBS checked (dated 8th April 2016).

Seymour has competed in various regional BJJ tournaments over the years, winning some and losing many but always learning along the way. He firmly believes that BJJ is a martial art that is suitable for anyone. During training, he is often the smallest adult in the class, and has always aimed to prove that technique overcomes size, weight or strength.
