Ground control

Are you looking for a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in Tilburg and do you want to learn to defend yourself in a fun way? With BJJ you work on your physical and mental resilience while you get in shape. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specializes in ground fighting and has so many scenarios that you can enjoy this sport for years to come. The sport is accessible to everyone and training is done with respect for each other's level.

Research has shown that 90 percent of all fights end on the ground. Because it is easier to control someone on the ground than in a standing position, many of the techniques in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focus on taking down an opponent. With a dominant position on the ground, you can better control an opponent and determine the outcome of the situation yourself.

Physical control and fitness

Gradually you will develop a broad and deep knowledge of the functioning and limits of the human body. With this knowledge, you can control an opponent and submit on your terms.

BJJ is a sport where you use your whole body to escape or control the other. This way you develop a good fitness.

Training at Renzo Gracie Tilburg takes place in a safe and social environment so that everyone can pursue his or her goals. While rolling (sparring) you strive for a "submission" or a "tap". To be able to do the sport safely, students must have the confidence that this tap is also respected. Rolling together you get to know each other's techniques and character better and because of this there is a very strong team spirit at Renzo Gracie Tilburg
