Why train at Kraken BJJ Cambridge?
Krakens mission is to create the best system of learning the grappling world has ever seen. Our highly accelerated learning programmes are designed specifically with beginners in mind, focussing on education and understanding to produce high levels of competency in record times. Jiu Jitsu is all about understanding mechanics and movement to apply maximum leverage against your opponent, gaining favourable positions before submitting your opponent. The most important factor which allows this to happen is education and understanding. Where most schools go wrong is that they push new students into rolling (sparring) before new students even understand what it is they are doing. This often leads to a high drop out rate as new students often end up injured and have a bad experience. This will NEVER happen at Kraken, you will always be looked after.
Where we differ from other traditional schools which focus mainly on singular submissions, sweeps, passes etc we focus on understanding controls, the intricacies of each position and understanding the underlying concept as to what you are trying to achieve. It is only when you truly understand a position that you can then look to exploit your opponents mistakes and look for submissions. Understanding the concepts behind movements and understanding what it is that you are actually trying to do produces much greater results than haphazard attempts to look for singular moves which is unfortunately very common in a lot of grappling schools. This greatly impedes progression, leads to plateaus and bad habits as you try to decipher the game yourself.
Gone are the days when you could be weak and inflexible and still be a high level grappler. Where we also differ from other schools is that we offer a complete approach to becoming high level. We have mobility (range of movement) and strength and conditioning programmes for all of our students to follow outside of the gym. If you can’t make it to class, you can still get better at Grappling! We will also be releasing study guides so you can continue your education outside of class to maximise results.
We are based in Willingham Cambridge
Another important difference between Kraken and other schools is that when you sign up for a twice a week or more membership, you will receive a private session every month to discuss problems you may be having, to set goals and to greatly accelerate the learning and understanding process. At Kraken Submission Grappling we are all about developing maximum growth and producing the best possible results in the shortest possible time frame. Our classes will always be small to maximise coach/student time and build a strong community. We are not just a team, but a family. We all rise and grow together. If you want to come see what we are all about, come to a free trial class and see the difference.
We have an open door policy here at Kraken, we have a great group of people training under our roof and we always looking to expand our team. You can find us in Willingham Cambridge and we are always available to contact via our Facebook page or via email.
Check out our Reviews for BJJ in Cambrige. This recent review was left after Jake attended his first class with us at Kraken. The transcript is as follows… “What a fantastic club. Kraken manages to combine a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere, making the most relevant combat sport of our time accessible to all (including those with no prior experience), with a seriously high level cutting edge training ethos which means that anyone who trains there will quickly become highly proficient. I have been training various grappling arts for years but within a very short space of time it became apparent exactly how much and how quickly I could improve my game by training at Kraken. The gym is clean. The instruction is fantastic. You will be made to feel very welcome and you will receive some great, detailed instruction. What more can I say? Try it!”
