We have very strict hygiene rules, especially with our feet as what we do consists of lying on the floor and our faces very close to the mat. The general rule is NO BAREFEET OFF THE MATS. This is to ensure the mat stays as clean as possible. Please keep your nails short - both fingers and toenails. As we are doing a grappling art, long fingernails can scratch or cut your training partner. For females, please discuss with me if you have long manicures. Please wear deodorant or have a shower before coming to training. We believe these hygiene rules are important not just for our members' safety but also as a basic courtesy as we are all sharing the mats with the other members. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1630884428480-CIGK6WOTEO7KUXLAR9XI/unsplash-image-AsCCBr7J-XM.jpg Getting Started - Equipment Water bottle to stay hydrated. A towel if you sweat a lot. Clothing - something you would wear to the gym but tight-fitting clothes would be best for grappling. Recommendation for Men - Shorts and T-Shirt. Recommendation for Women - Trackpants/ Shorts/ Leggings/ Yoga Pants and T-Shirt. Please avoid singlets or real short shorts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1630884842982-BUQCS312RNR8SSDSC5HB/unsplash-image-VZILDYoqn_U.jpg Getting Started - For Our Mat Monsters / Youth Classes We understand it can be daunting for our kids when they come to our academy. It is an unfamiliar environment with people that they don't know. Please make it as easy as possible for them; if they are keen to give it a go right away, great - they can join in right away. If they are not, find a seat, make yourselves comfortable and watch our class. At any point, if they decide they want to join in, they can. Most kids take time to get comfortable in a new environment, so feel free to bring them down to get familiar with our academy and watch the class. https://olivermmabrownsbay.com/contactus daily 0.75 2022-09-19 https://olivermmabrownsbay.com/ourprogrammes daily 0.75 2022-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1614999640129-75ICQDPKHEEHTOD21D7M/IMG_20210217_104848.jpg Our Programmes - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Grappling art - a structured ground fighting system that utilises various positional pins and submission holds Developed by the Gracie family around the year 1920, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu quickly became a dominant force in the martial arts world due to its effectiveness in actual combat. The Gracie family started the original Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), when it had minimal rules, to showcase its effectiveness to the world. The original UFC consisted of styles vs. styles; many traditional martial arts forms such as karate and boxing took part in it. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came out on top, proving its effectiveness, and the rest is history. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great way to develop both your physical and mental strength, as well as your emotional control. However, this can only be achieved if the practitioner is willing to take on everything that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has to offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1614999662894-CK7QCHWKLJ5SFZSMAAR8/File_000+%281%29.jpeg Our Programmes - Wrestling Grappling art - a focus of getting the opponent to the ground and keeping them there with pinning techniques If ground fighting is our base, then we need to get our opponent down to be able to use it, especially in a self-defence situation. This is where wrestling comes in. Considered to be the oldest form of combat, it has been the main form of combat grappling for centuries. We take the takedown techniques from freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, all while utilising effective pinning techniques to help facilitate our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu base. Our fundamental wrestling class is for all levels, with technique drilling and some live wrestling at the end of the class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1614999692497-FYJ29P7UT565DBH9FV6Q/IMG_20190903_155341_548.jpg Our Programmes - Mat Monsters Our Foundation Class “You can’t build a great building on a weak foundation.” This is very true for a human being also, which is why we have our Mat Monsters programme. We believe in starting our kids young, giving them a solid foundation to build on top of for whatever they choose to do in the future. Our goal is to develop not only physical strength, but also mental strength by teaching kids discipline through rules, order, and hierarchy. They will learn to improve their coordination through basic movement exercises and also learn some core Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques for self-defence. We do some live wrestling and ground fighting as well, to get them comfortable with both physical and mental pressure. After some dedication to the programme, you will see your child improve their physical strength, coordination, and discipline. They will have more confidence overall and be able to stand up for themselves. https://olivermmabrownsbay.com/ourinstructors daily 0.75 2022-09-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1630880103401-OTX0F4KO0CWBHS5FQ9S1/150240312_2935297596695054_5093611844316158880_n.jpg Our Instructors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1630916460338-2RCIASLDZX0Z0NH8DMY9/1.jpe Our Instructors - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1630881534503-V7AGJ92VFP8XCKDAJ5XU/Stu.jpg Our Instructors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1630964187016-LJTL9NWP7E1SV7QXEBBV/Me.jpg Our Instructors https://olivermmabrownsbay.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1615008175396-PB8GZ0TZYEADZG30UV5P/20200225_224643.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1615008166735-1S5TLO8U1YPR9757S8NY/20200221_142721.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1615008412666-2AJLIVQXEJ9726X4V87U/20200224_181003.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1615008439255-RAJUJLG4HDVJJLAMTXS7/20200518_174612.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1615008482361-P3ZCJDHA8DZ6NQ1VOITP/20200608_190146.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/601c5e9a2ef9194660ed79f3/1615008322709-EPI7B1L0AOWCQHGRUWJI/IMG_20190324_163922_871.jpg Gallery
