What is Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground fighting, control, and submission techniques. It teaches practitioners how to take an opponent to the ground, maintain a dominant position, and apply joint locks or chokeholds to force a submission.
Recognised as one of the most effective martial arts for both self-defense and personal development, BJJ builds confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. More than just a sport, it’s a journey of continuous learning and self-improvement.
At Prevail Jiu-Jitsu, our training goes beyond techniques and competition. What truly sets our academy apart is the community we’ve built—one that supports, challenges, and inspires each other on and off the mats.

Our Community
There are plenty of great martial arts schools, but Prevail Jiu-Jitsu is in a league of its own because of our world-class instruction and the tight-knit community we’ve fostered. We train hard, push each other to improve, and share plenty of laughs along the way.
Once a month, we host Social Sunday, where we gather after training to share food, relax, and connect beyond the mats.
Engage. Inspire. Empower. Prevail.
