Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Leverage, position and submissions — Jiu Jitsu for adults of all ages and levels.
The discipline
THE GROUND GAME.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling art built on leverage, positioning and submissions. The aim is to control a training partner without relying on size or strength, which makes it one of the most useful self-defence systems you can train.
Classes cover the positions that hold the art together: guard, mount, side control and back control, along with escapes, sweeps and submissions. Switch Fitness describes its Jiu Jitsu programme as suitable for all ages and skill levels.
Who it is for
- Adults who want to learn to grapple from the ground up.
- People looking for a discipline that rewards patience over power.
- Strikers who want to round out their game.
- Anyone who wants practical self-defence.

FINISH.
Every coach runs a class their own way. This is the general shape of a session — the exact drills, rounds and timing are set on the floor.
Warm-up
Movement drills and solo or partner mobility that prepare the hips, neck and shoulders.
Technique
One position or submission is broken down step by step, then drilled with a partner.
Specific rounds
Live drilling from the position of the day, so you learn to apply the technique against resistance.
Cool-down
Controlled rounds and a cool-down, with time for questions.
