About us
TEAM DYNAMICS
What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ for short)?
BJJ is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting and control holds. Derived from Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, the martial art was designed to give smaller or weaker people the ability to defend themselves against larger or stronger opponents by utilizing leverage and weight distribution.
Here at Grappling Dynamics we focus exclusively on BJJ - both as a martial art and as a sport. Whether you want to practice BJJ for self-defense, competitive, fitness or social reasons, we welcome everyone and look forward to sharing the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with you.
We attach great importance to the high quality of the lessons and the creation of a pleasant training atmosphere.
We don't waste our time on "gym politics" or bloated egos - we focus on the team.
"Our team is a family and Jiu-Jitsu belongs to everyone!"

UNITS
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
This course is suitable for all levels and focuses on traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a BJJ suit (Gi).
BJJ training in the Gi allows you to slow down and control the pace of a match, as well as providing a variety of holds that can be used both offensively and defensively against your opponent.
no gi grappling
This course is aimed at all levels and is a style of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that is practiced without the traditional battle dress.
Removing the gi reduces control over the opponent. This results in a faster pace and tends to create more "scrambles" - a term used in BJJ when neither person holds a dominant position over the other, leading to a contest for dominant control.

oPEN-mat
Training on the “Open Mat” offers our team the opportunity to practice the techniques they have learned or to do sparring - known in BJJ as "Rolling".
"Rolling" is an important aspect of BJJ training. It allows the knowledge learned in class to be applied in a real scenario. There is also a direct correlation between BJJ skill advancement and time spent on the mat.
1:1 coaching
Everyone who practices BJJ is individual - be it physique, fighting style or the speed at which he/she is developing.
These coaching sessions with Coach Andrew (BJJ Black Belt) are designed to help each student develop their own “style/game” and work on the issues that are specifically critical to personal development.
This course is aimed at beginners and is practiced in a BJJ suit.
The aim of this course is to provide new students with an understanding of the different positions used in BJJ and basic self-defense skills.
