Why Reclaimed BJJ?

Martial arts beginners

A martial art can seem like an incredibly daunting activity! Your first session is arguably the most important, and you must find the right coach to welcome you to it. My students are of all different levels and walks of life; when I teach, I truly believe that one size does not fit all. When you walk through the doors, I will ensure you feel comfortable and I promise you will improve, no matter how novice you may be.

People who want to defend themselves

Modern society is unpredictable. Just think about all the recent cases of physical violence going live on Facebook or being shown on the news . Its pivotal that you always try and avoid danger, but in reality this isn’t always possible. Even the most basic martial arts skills can be the difference between protecting yourself or more importantly, a loved one, from a tricky situation.

Many people begin martial arts because they want to learn self-defense, only to find themselves continuing training because they realize all its other benefits instead! If you are someone who lives an active, outdoors life and you want to try an alternate work out to what your used to, you could really enjoy the intensity and the thrill of the game behind martial arts.
