About
Cronus Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – BJJ | Hoddesdon | Hertfordshire | Cheshunt is a martial arts school located in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. With a focus on Gracie Jiu Jitsu, the school provides a friendly, safe, and non-egotistic environment for individuals of all ages and skill levels to learn and grow.
The difference between Gracie Jiu Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that Gracie Jiu Jitsu places a strong emphasis on self-defence first, rather than purely a sporting mindset. This approach ensures that students gain practical skills that can be applied in their day-to-day lives.
Classes at Cronus BJJ consist of a combination of situational training and free sparring, known as rolling. Before engaging in live sparring, students are taught the correct use of body mechanics and technique to effectively apply the techniques without causing injury. The syllabus, developed by Pedro Sauer, starts with the legendary 88 techniques, which are broken down into 25 set classes from White to Blue Belt.
One of the greatest aspects of Gracie Jiu Jitsu is that it is suitable for people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and fitness levels. The system is beneficial for men, women, and children alike. The teachings of Grand Master Helio Gracie, from whom Cronus BJJ traces its lineage, have proven time and time again that size doesn't matter when it comes to defending oneself using Gracie Jiu Jitsu.
