The top five reasons our members give for joining Flo Martial Arts are as follows:
- Keeping fit.
- Increasing self-confidence.
- Meeting new people.
- Participating in combat-sports competitions.
- Trying something new.
To cater for this, our classes are structured to allow members to train together towards their own individual goals in an ego-free environment. A typical training session will see mums and dads, who train a as fun way to keep active, sharing the mat with fulltime combat athletes honing their skills for competition. They will be working and learning together – all having fun.
Here's how we do it...
Classes we offer:
BJJ – FUNDAMENTALS
The fundamentals classes are designed to introduce new students to the key positions in BJJ.
These classes are suitable for people with zero BJJ knowledge, however, we also recommend
them for anyone wanting to improve their understanding of the basics, regardless of their level of
experience. You never know what you might have missed along the way!
The classes are taught in an 8-week cycle, meaning that every 8 weeks, we revisit the same
positions, to give students the chance to build upon what they have already learned.
You will learn various ways to take an opponent down to the ground, control them, and submit
them with either chokes or joint locks. You will also learn to escape from bad positions and get
back to good positions where you can control and attack your opponent.
These classes are very popular, as people always enjoy learning the fundamentals of BJJ!
BJJ - ALL LEVELS
The ‘All Levels’ classes are best suited to those who have previously attended a number of the
fundamental classes. However, if you feel confident jumping straight into our ‘All Levels’
classes, you are more than welcome!
In the first half of the class, we will learn some intermediate positions and techniques, including
the various open guards, which are not covered in the fundamentals classes. The second half of
the class is dedicated to live rolling/sparring, ensuring that our students always get a great
workout.
BJJ – ADVANCED
The ‘Advanced’ classes are designed for coloured belts (blue belt and above) who want to
improve their technical knowledge and learn about more advanced positions. In these classes,
students have plenty of opportunities to ask individual questions on how to improve their own
game, which really helps them progress to the next level.
There is also a lot of live rolling in this class, giving students plenty of opportunity to roll with
higher belts.
Takedowns for bjj
Our popular takedowns class mixes techniques from both wrestling and Judo to help students
build their confidence in the standing position. Every fight starts standing, so learning how to
take your opponent down to the ground is an essential skill in BJJ. We can guarantee that you will
also get a great workout during this class!
