About NTU Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
NTU BJJ is the perfect place for new comers to learn the sport, as well as for experienced athletes to continue to learn and grow.
With sessions six days of the week including being taught by high level coaches and women's only sessions, NTU BJJ is a place for everyone. Members have the option to compete in a variety of local competitions as well as inter-university competitions and varsity where we have been extremely successful since we were founded.
