Myriad Jiu Jitsu
from £15
The StudioWith Myriad
We will introduce you to the world of grappling and go through some fundamental aspects of BJJ.
BJJ is primarily a ground based martial art, which uses the principles of pressure, leverage and timing to non-violently submit one’s opponent. Jiu Jitsu focuses on ‘grappling’ techniques with the application of joint manipulations and chokes, and is akin to judo, wrestling, sambo (and other grappling arts). It was developed, most notably by the Gracie family in Brazil, as a way for smaller, weaker fighters to control a larger opponent. It’s the groundwork seen in MMA.
Myriad was born from our passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and our belief that the benefits of BJJ can be accessed by everyone. We pursue an equitable learning environment, where we will do our best to meet our students' individual needs.
Myriad is the home of Women Who Fight, an organisation working to elevate female BJJ athletes, creating new opportunities to excel. As WF HQ, the principles governing Myriad are the same - mindful actions working to create an inclusive environment.
The word “jiu jitsu” derives from the Japanese “Jū” meaning “gentle” and “Jutsu” meaning “art”; so essentially, jiu jitsu is the “gentle art”.
