Self-Defence Self-Defence is more than just the physical aspect that makes up approximately 5% of this dynamic. The other 95% is about managing aggression, bullying and raising awareness of you or your child's safety, that is not limited or adjunct to a martial art style. Self-Defence has its own skills and mindset that requires a dedicated stand alone program. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) MMA at CMAG draws predominantly on the styles of boxing, old school Taekwondo and wrestling, in conjunction with real world violence management. With most people not able to or not willing to pursue competitive MMA the focus is on using these skill sets and others for advanced self protection. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) We teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) both as a sport and as an effective form of self-defence. In sport BJJ, students develop technique, discipline, and strategy through controlled sparring and competition. For self-defence, BJJ focuses on using leverage, positioning, and submissions to neutralize threats, even against larger opponents. We often focus on using BJJ to defend from strikes, whilst understanding that Self Defence is its own style with a large range of variables. Whether training for fitness, competition, or personal safety, our BJJ class empowers individuals with confidence and practical skills that apply to real-life situations. Emerald BJJ is affiliated with Cia Paulista Australia. Kickboxing Utilizing all 8 weapons, plus a heavy focus on the clinch, Kickboxing is a well rounded effective and efficient skill base that will meet your fitness, capability, and self defence requirements from the novice to the advanced member. Boxing Considered by many as the most efficient and relevant “martial art” for self defence. Why? All kicking in reality due to unknown elements such as flooring, surrounding objects, clothing, lighting and the chaos of violence generally render kicking of any sort a risk not worth the gain. Unless you are defending yourself on a vacant beach or oval grappling on the ground poses a huge risk of the unknown 3rd or 4th person attacking you while you are defenceless on the ground. Fights and self defence predominantly occurs at boxing range with boxing like skills in the form of punches to the head.
