Fusion Ladies Only

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is popular with everyone!

We are proud to have a large and growing number of female members participating in our classes. 

We also run Women’s Only classes to ensure the introduction to this male-dominated sport is a smooth and pleasant process.

Females are made to feel comfortable while gaining the basic skills to feel a little more prepared for the regular classes.

One of the most common positions in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is fantastic to learn for self-defence if you were to be attacked and thrown to the ground.

 

What to wear in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class

“Gi” classes are taught wearing a “Gi” sometimes referred to as a “Kimono” and is more sport focused using the gi to perform various chokes and submissions.

“No Gi” classes are taught wearing normal workout type clothing and is more dynamic and fast-paced due to the reduced ability to create “holds” without the “Gi”. Shorts and rash guard shirt is ideal to wear however a normal close-fitting t-shirt can also be worn.
