BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) and grappling are martial arts that have become immensely popular in recent years, particularly due to their effectiveness in ground fighting techniques, such as those used in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) competitions like the UFC. The goal of BJJ/grappling is to achieve a dominant position over your opponent. This means not only being on top but also having control over the situation, ready to apply a ‘choke’ or ‘joint lock’ to decide the fight.

What makes BJJ/grappling so unique is that it revolves around technique and strategy, not just brute strength. Even if you are physically smaller or less muscular than your opponent, you can gain the upper hand through smart maneuvers and well-timed holds. This makes the sport incredibly inclusive and accessible to people of all ages and physical conditions.

The training sessions themselves are intense yet safe, with an emphasis on learning and applying techniques under the guidance of experienced instructors. Whether you are a beginner curious about the sport or an advanced practitioner looking to sharpen your skills, Eastbound Gym in Amsterdam East is the place for professional guidance at any level.

So if you are looking for a challenging sport that not only physically challenges you but also improves your strategic thinking, then BJJ/grappling at Eastbound Gym is the perfect choice for you!
