Essex Blades and BKK Fighters Colchester have come together to offer a unique training experience for University of Essex students. We offer top level coaching from Professional fighter and BJJ purple belt Jason Cooledge at an excellent facility just outside of the University.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art focusing largely on grappling and ground fighting. It utilizes natural body leverage and proper technique to obtain dominant control on the ground and, as a result, provides greater position for striking or submission holds.
BJJ has been proven to be an effective method for dealing with bigger and stronger opponents and has become increasingly popular due in part to its great success in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. It can be trained for self defence, sport grappling (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts competition and has found its way into the training regiment of nearly every successful mixed martial artist worldwide.
Each session starts with a light warm up to prevent injury followed by a set of techniques that we will be focussing on for that session. Towards the end of the session, we will then move on to light ‘rolling’ where we can utilize the techniques we have learnt in a controlled manner. Rolling is a term used for BJJ sparring but is completely optional for anyone wishing to just watch.
At Essex Blades BJJ, training is FREE. Just come along and get stuck right in. Our club welcomes both males and females of any ages and experience level. All you have to do is bring along your student registration card.
