Gracie Jiu Jitsu, also known as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ, forms the basis of the training at Hunter Valley Jiu Jitsu. Developed from Kodokan Judo ground fighting, BJJ emphasises grappling and ground fighting techniques. It promotes the idea that a smaller person can effectively defend themselves against a larger opponent through proper technique, leverage, and ground fighting strategies.

The popularity of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu grew exponentially with the success of Royce Gracie in the UFC, where he defeated experts from various martial arts disciplines. Hunter Valley Jiu Jitsu proudly traces its lineage back to Mitsuyo Maeda, Helio Gracie, Royce Gracie, Luke Beston, and Ernest Lapornik.

Hunter Valley Jiu Jitsu's facilities include an engineered sprung floor with Dollamur Mats, ensuring a safe and high-quality training environment. The club also offers ample on-site parking for the convenience of its members.

Whether you're looking to improve your self-defence skills, enhance your fitness level, or simply try something new, Hunter Valley Jiu Jitsu welcomes individuals of all ages and skill levels. Join today and experience the world-class training and supportive community that sets this martial arts club apart.
