What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art focused on technique, leverage, and control rather than strength and size. It teaches you how to defend yourself effectively by using positioning, timing, and skill to overcome larger or stronger opponents. Unlike striking martial arts, BJJ focuses on takedowns, ground control, submissions, and escapes.
This makes it one of the most practical self-defence systems available today. Whether your goal is fitness, confidence, competition, or self-protection, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers a complete system that evolves with you over time.
Train Under Expert Coaching
At Malin Martial Arts Gym, you’ll be learning under the guidance of head coach Mat Whyton, a highly experienced 2nd degree black belt under Andy Roberts. With years of training, teaching, and competition experience, Mat brings a depth of knowledge and professionalism that ensures every student receives top-level instruction.
His coaching style focuses on:
-
Clear, structured teaching methods
-
Technical precision and detail
-
Progressive skill development
-
A supportive and ego-free training environment
Whether you are brand new or already experienced, you will benefit from expert guidance tailored to your level.
