What is BJJ?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling martial art that teaches how to control and submit an opponent using positional dominance and submission techniques. Instead of relying on striking, BJJ focuses on takedowns, control positions, escapes and submissions such as chokes and joint locks.

Training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Scramble Academy Harrogate is not only a great way to learn self-defence but it also provides incredible physical and mental benefits. Students develop problem-solving skills, resilience, discipline and improved overall fitness.

Many people first discover BJJ through mixed martial arts competitions, where grappling plays a huge role in determining the outcome of fights. However, at Scramble Academy Harrogate, our focus is on structured learning, safe training and long-term development for every student.
