Neuigkeiten bzgl. COVID-19
Dear students, Dear friends and interested parties,
Due to the extensive measures that the Berlin Senate has taken in the past few days, the BJJ DOJO Berlin is initially closed. We look forward to seeing you in good health again soon.
We are of course still there for you and reachable also via the telegram group.
Despite the measures, we recommend that you continue to take care of your health and, in addition to adhering to the hygiene measures, continue to do sports - also from home - we are working on supporting you with the help of (video) instructions.
ÜBER DAS GYM HINAUS
Das japanische Wort DOJO (dōjō (道場)) heißt wörtlich übersetzt "Ort des Weges" und diese Idee haben wir auch in unserem Gym verwirklicht. Das DOJO ist ein Ort inständigen Lernens, der Heilung und Meditation.
Unter der Benutzung von ganzheitlichen Lehren wie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Bewegung und Yoga wenden wir das DOJO konzept im Herzen von Berlin-Neukölln an.
Unser Ziel ist es, eine sichere, einladende, verletzungsfreie und Familienfreundliche Umgebung zu schaffen, um nicht nur unsere technischen Fähigkeiten zu verbessern, sondern auch unsere Gedanken, Worte und Handlungen.
Wir sind mit dem erfolgreichste CheckMat Team angeschlossen und wir freuen uns auf jeden CheckMat mitglied, der in Berlin zum besuch ist.
... Und falls du eine neue BJJ-Schule in Berlin suchst und unser Konzept dir anspricht, Komm zu deinem Probetraining vorbei!
Beyond the Gym
The Japanese word DOJO (dōjō (道場)) literally means "place of the way" and we have recreated this concept in our gym. A DOJO is a place for immersive learning, healing, and meditation.
Using powerful holistic tools such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Movement, and Yoga we apply this Dojo concept at the heart of Berlin-Neukölln. Our goal is to promote a safe, welcoming, injury-free and family friendly environment so that we improve not only our technical qualities but along the journey or thoughts, words and actions.
We are affiliated with CheckMat and we look forward to meet each CheckMat brother and sister, who is visiting Berlin.
... and If you are looking for a new BJJ School in Berlin, come to a trial class!

A complete system
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is divided into four categories, a black belt is someone with a holistic understanding in all of them:
- Self-Defense
- Mixed Martial Arts
- Gi
- Nogi
The three pillars of Jiu-Jitsu are:
- Movement
- Leverage
- Balance
Strategically and philosophically, Jiu-Jitsu applies three basic concepts:
- Minimal effort, maximum efficiency
- Minimum Risk, Maximum Reward
- Simplicity
A fight is divided into four stages:
- Attacking:
- Close distance
- Bring the fight to the ground
- Achieve a dominant position
- End the fight
- Defending:
- Survive
- Escape
- Defend
- Attack/Counter-Attack
The modern martial art
Jiu-Jitsu is a close-and hand-based martial arts and self-defense system that aims to end a fight.
This happens when the attacker defeats the defender with the help of the joint levers, pressure on muscles and / or bones or strangleholds.
Although Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu focuses on the grips and the ground combat, it is an extensive self-defense system, with throws, punches and strategies against various attacks.
BJJ offers solutions for all possible stages of a fight.
Other disciplines focus on hitting and rely on a person's power and speed to cause damage. However, speed and strength are useless during close combat or when lying on your back.
BJJ differs fundamentally from other martial arts as it focuses on precision, strategy, adaptability, technique and leverage over speed and intensity.
From Japan to Brazil
Mitsuo Maeda, one of the greatest fighters in the history of Judo, settled in the early XX. Century in Belem, north of Brazil. That happened after he fought hundreds of opponents around the world without experiencing a single defeat.
There he met and taught what he called Ju-Jutsu, the Gracie family. The then two children, Carlos and Helio, have modified Maeda's teachings for a street fighting reality.
A few decades later, Rolls Gracie founded a martial art influenced by Kosen Judo, Sambo and Wrestling.
Some benefits of the long-term BJJ practice are
- Self-defense
- Improved fitness, strength and overall physical conditioning
- Increased flexibility
- Stress release and improved concentration
- Increased self-confidence
- Increased focus and self-control
- Improved self-confidence
- Building new social relationships
BJJ addresses all 4 parameters for the entire fitness:
- Aerobics
- Flexibility
- Muscle strength
- Muscle endurance
The purpose of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not to create super-humans. Our students should be psychologically safe and self-governed people who can rely on their abilities. So they should be able to contribute to the solution of extreme situations.
