Another huge year for De Been 100% Jiu Jitsu Darwin. The change of facility is now behind us and all would agree that training in A/C in Darwin is an absolute luxury. We have big plans for the facility this year with more mats to come, a new front counter and much more.
A blog post from De Been 100% Jiu Jitsu HQ sharing a recent conversation with their parents about fees and the benefits of participating in junior classes.
We recently held some anti-bullying sessions in our junior 1 and junior 2 classes. Please see below an article about this subject from De Been 100% Jiu Jitsu Wodonga.
After experiencing multiple martial arts Pete de Been found his life long love in Jiu Jitsu. Pete’s first introduction was with Prey Mantis Kung Fu during a surfing holiday in Hawaii. Intrigued by this introduction Pete then spent some time learning Wing Chun Kung Fu followed by time learning Seido Karate. Not quite convinced he then moved into a Penjak Silat which soon morphed into Shoot Boxing and then Shoot Fighting.
Unlike many traditional martial arts, de Been 100% Jiu Jitsu techniques are not drilled religiously nor do they form the basis of the training. Instead the uniqueness of Jiu Jitsu training lies in learning and understanding the concepts that underpin the overall art. Jiu Jitsu techniques can only be applied successfully with a solid understanding of leverage and positioning concepts. The concepts will then allow a student to find a finishing technique that can be applied. Control concepts, positioning concepts and defence concepts are passed onto the student in early training and reinforced throughout training. These concepts form the foundation for de Been Jiu Jitsu from the beginner right up to the most elite level.
