BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
Why Train BJJ?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, known as the “Gentle Art,” is a unique martial art that teaches how to overcome strength with technique. It builds real fitness, flexibility, and endurance, while also sharpening focus, patience, and problem-solving skills.
Beyond self-defense, BJJ is a journey of personal growth. It gives confidence, humility, and resilience that carry over into everyday life. Training also creates strong bonds—teammates who support and challenge each other, making every class a shared experience.
Training in BJJ is a holistic journey that enhances physical health, mental clarity, and social connections, making it a valuable pursuit for people of all ages and backgrounds.
The benefits of BJJ go beyond physical. It's not just about getting in shape (though that's a great bonus). It's about the mental clarity, focus, and emotional strength that come from pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. Studies have shown that martial arts can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Jiu-jitsu is without question a tried-and-true fighting style. Ever since its inception in Brazil, jiu-jitsu practitioners have challenged all comers to show that proper technique is more important than strength or size in any kind of fight.
Is Jiu-Jitsu suitable for SENIORS?
Yes, you can train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a senior, as there is no age limit for the sport. In addition, our academy offers specific classes for older adults. BJJ provides significant physical health benefits, such as improved strength, flexibility, and endurance, while also offering mental benefits, like enhanced cognitive function and stress relief.
To start training safely and effectively, LEGACY Martial Arts is an academy with experienced coaches, focus on recovery, prioritize safety in training, and learn to work within your body's limitations by adjusting your technique to be less explosive and more strategic.
Is Jiu-Jitsu suitable for KIDS?
Yes, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is suitable for kids, offering significant benefits like improved physical fitness, confidence, and self-defense skills, while minimizing risks by focusing on grappling rather than striking. Our school with a qualified Black belt 4° degree Professor prioritize proper techniques, safety, and the age-appropriate progression of skills.
Kids can start BJJ as early as age 3-4, with training focusing on fun games and coordination for younger children and more complex techniques and discipline for older ones.
"Ladies Only" classes :
Learn self-defence, get in shape and meet new friends!
At Hive, we work hard to ensure an inclusive and friendly culture where everyone is welcome. Even so, we recognise that joining in a mixed class in a sport with close physical contact can be intimidating for some women. Therefore we offer a Ladies Only class, tailored to girls and women looking to be introduced to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey in a comfortable but challenging environment.
We strongly believe every woman should learn some self-defence, and that BJJ is the best way to do so. No other martial arts program offers such a comprehensive system on the ground – the place where most women fear they will be in a self-defence situation. Already in the first sessions you will learn how to deal with seemingly impossible situations, and along your journey you will learn how to apply basic techniques against increasingly bigger and more skilled opponents. Few other martial arts present you the opportunity to train and practice techniques with a high level of resistance from your training partners (“sparring”), without the risk of injury. The confidence you gain from knowing you have options and can put up a fight, from any position, is priceless.
As well as learning self-defence, our programme is also guaranteed to give you a full-body workout and boost your level of fitness! We have collected a specific set of drills that will get your heart rate up, your legs burning, and improve your timing.
