Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai safe?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is generally considered a safe martial art. Since BJJ focuses on grapplng, joint locks, and positional control rather than punches or kicks, the risk of serious injury is lower. However, like any physical activity, injuries can happen IF techniques are applied improperly. We train all our students to safely practice technique under close supervision of our experienced and professional staff.
​
Muay Thai is a striking based martial art, making it more physically intense than some other martial arts. However, when practiced in a controlled environment with proper coaching, it is relatively safe. Safety in Muay Thai depends on factors like proper technique, protective gear (such as gloves, shin guards, and mouthguards) and controlled sparring sessions.
​
We emphasize safety and accountability for yourself and teammates and we always encourage everyone to go at a pace they feel comfortable with.
