BJJ Fundamentals

Coach John teaching fundamentals class tonight! Our fundamentals class is growing bigger every week! Tonight the class covered escapes from the triangle choke. Students learnt how good posture and early prevention is the key to preventing the submission, as well as some options to escape even when the choke is sunk deep. Everyone is doing great, training hard, listening and practicing technique, as we will have stripe testing on Saturday September the 1st!

Are you looking to take up a new hobby? Bored of the same old routine at the gym? Looking to get fit, lose weight and learn a new skill? If so our fundamentals class is the place for you!! And there is no better time than now to start!

Hear what student and CrossFit Strength and Performance head coach Alan Sherry had to say about training at our gym :

“Rarely does a great athlete make a great coach, but Darragh O Conaill fit’s that bill. I have trained Jiu Jitsu alongside Darragh for a few years now and I have yet to meet someone more dedicated, or more passionate about their art. He has built an amazing team atmosphere at East Coast Jiu Jitsu Academy. It is unlike any other gym I’ve ever trained at, and that camaraderie is witnessed by the athletes he produces. The technical level you will see on the mats is only matched by the fun and friendly attitudes shown by the students. If you want to learn Jiu Jitsu you shouldn’t be training anywhere else!”
