Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport system that focuses on grappling with particular emphasis on ground fighting. BJJ is founded on the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent. This is done by using technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground, and then applying joint locks and chokeholds to defeat the opponent. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments and in self-defense situations.

"Damien and the team are one of the best most inclusive sports teams/families I’ve ever belonged to. They are none judgemental of my newness and ability and so much fun to be a part of.
In just under 6 weeks I’ve gained fitness, lost a substantial amount of excess weight and gained confidence in my own abilities both physically and mentally.
I would, without hesitation, recommend Gracie Barra Keynsham to all ages, abilities and genders you won’t be disappointed."
