Pretty Top Team in Cairns is excited to announce the launch of their highly anticipated No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes.
This martial art, rooted in self-defense and grappling techniques, has gained immense popularity worldwide. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, provide a brief history of the martial art, and introduce the two talented Brown belt coaches, Gio and Alec, who will be leading these classes. We will also outline the class schedule and highlight the availability of free trials, ensuring that everyone can experience the benefits of this incredible martial art.
Understanding Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, often referred to as BJJ, is a martial art and combat sport that primarily focuses on ground fighting and submission holds. It originated from Kodokan Judo, which was introduced to Brazil by Mitsuyo Maeda, a judoka and one of Judo's early pioneers. Carlos Gracie, one of Maeda's students, further developed and refined the techniques, eventually passing down the knowledge to his family, who continued to promote and innovate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Unlike other martial arts, BJJ emphasizes technique, leverage, and timing over raw strength and size. Practitioners learn how to defend themselves against larger opponents by using efficient grappling techniques, joint locks, and chokeholds. Through continuous practice, students develop physical fitness, mental discipline, and problem-solving skills.
Introducing our Coaches:
Gio and Alec, the esteemed Brown belt coaches at Pretty Top Team, bring a wealth of experience and passion to their teaching.
Gio, originally from Sao Paulo, Brazil, discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 16. He trained extensively in his hometown before moving to Cairns, Australia, where he met and fell in love with an Australian (which, as we all know, is easily done!). Gio is now happily married and eager to share his expertise with the members of Pretty Top Team.
Alec, also hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, holds Brown belts in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo. With a deep understanding of ground fighting and throws, Alec brings a unique perspective to his coaching. His combined knowledge of both martial arts enables him to provide students with a well-rounded training experience.
