Masters of Martial Arts Academy Blackburn

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, is on offer at this Roger Gracie associated academy. Classes follow the Gracie family's system of Jiu-Jitsu, with the curriculum provided and overseen by Roger Gracie, and there are sessions for both adults and kids. The academy aims for a relaxed, friendly atmosphere where members feel part of one big family.

A Jiu-Jitsu class generally combines a warm-up, technique drilling and live rolling with partners, focusing on grappling, positional control and submissions rather than striking. It tends to suit people looking for a challenging workout, practical self-defence skills and a supportive group to learn alongside, whatever their starting fitness.
