Leverage Over Power
Jiu-Jitsu ("The Gentle Art") is a highly effective, ground-based grappling martial art that emphasizes leverage, body geometry, and tactical positional control. It allows a physically smaller practitioner to successfully control and submit a larger, stronger threat.
Our Jiu-Jitsu curriculum at JPS focuses deeply on realistic self-defence and physical problem-solving, teaching students how to safely neutralize aggression without relying on brute force.
Core Syllabus Focus
- Positional Geometry: Understanding guard, side control, mount, and back structures to maintain absolute leverage.
- Precise Submissions: Safely studying joint-locks, hyperextensions, and strangles with complete control.
- Technical Escapes: Dynamic sweeps, hip placement, and recovery keys to transition from bad positions.
- Standing Transitions: Basic wrestling takedowns, trips, and foot sweeps to safely bring a threat to the ground.
