Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or BJJ is a highly practical system of grappling based on the simple fact that the vast majority of real world altercations end up on the ground.

Unlike other styles, BJJ is geared towards placing your opponent in finishing holds (submission chokes and joint locks) rather than pinning or holding. BJJ practitioners are able to use their technical skill and application of good leverage to beat a significantly larger and stronger opponent. In this case, knowledge really is power!

For more information on BJJ’s origins and history in Australia check out the homepage of the oldest and largest group in the country, and the body with which Advance Martial Arts is affiliated, BJJ Australia.

The Advance training mat boasts the greatest depth of coloured belts, and the longest running experience of any BJJ school in Queensland.
