Jiu Jitsu is Self Defence

August 16, 2021/by John Smallios

Jiu jitsu is many things to many people.

Considering the exploding popularity of competition BJJ, the strategy and techniques of jiu jitsu for self defence are becoming more elusive and almost forgotten.

But not here at Higher!

The fact that our lineage includes the likes of Master Pedro Sauer, GM Rickson Gracie, and GM Helio Gracie means that we also see self defence as a priority. Day in and out we practice self defence jiu jitsu to ensure we are confident wherever, and whenever anything goes awry.

In this way, our program helps not just strong, and athletic students to win medals, but also the smaller and weaker people within our community who need the skills more than everyone else.

With the right coaching, and environment jiu jitsu is the portal for you to build a life of confidence, and success, and vitality, and freedom.
