Jiu-Jitsu, originating from the battlefields of ancient Japan and developed by Samurai warriors, is a highly efficient system of close-quarter combat. Sunbury Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes the principles of non-resistance and leverage, allowing individuals of all genders and sizes to effectively defend themselves against larger, stronger opponents. The training encompasses various techniques such as striking, joint locking, throwing, and choking, preparing students for real-life scenarios where survival is the ultimate goal.
With a focus on both Traditional Jiu-Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sunbury Jiu-Jitsu offers classes for individuals over 16 years old. While competition is not compulsory, students have the opportunity to test their skills on the mat. Beyond physical benefits, Jiu-Jitsu training at Sunbury Jiu-Jitsu promotes mental discipline, confidence, respect for others, and overall strength of character. Located at the Sunbury Gymnastics Club, the dojo provides a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals looking to learn the art of self-defense and improve their overall well-being.
