Traditional uniform for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and at SD Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we offer Gi classes that focus on teaching students the fundamental skills necessary to spar with an opponent. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the techniques and strategies that utilise the Gi, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of the art. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics or a seasoned practitioner seeking to refine your skills, our Gi classes offer a challenging and rewarding training experience.
If you prefer a less traditional approach to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, our No-Gi classes may be perfect for you. NoGi classes replace the traditional uniform with shorts and a rash guard and teach alternative moves that allow for a more well-rounded BJJ practitioner. Our skilled instructors will help you develop a versatile skill set that can be applied in both Gi and No-Gi situations, ensuring that you are well-prepared for any type of sparring or competition.
At SD Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we strongly believe in the importance of providing martial arts training to children. Our Kids classes not only teach your child valuable self-defence skills, but also instil important core values such as integrity, humility, respect, and confidence. These values are crucial in shaping your child's future and can have a positive impact on their overall development during these formative years.
