B4L Jiu Jitsu
ABOUT
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) is a tried and tested grappling martial art that's based on taking your opponent down, gaining positional dominance and ultimately finishing with a submission.
This of course sounds very simple but you will soon learn that one of the big draws to BJJ is the complexity and depth of techniques available! A fusion of Judo and Freestyle Wrestling needs to be applied to achieve the take-down. A mixture of guards, guard passing and sweeps exists to gain positional dominance. Submission opportunities can range from chokes, strangles, joint locks, crushes and twists to various parts of the body.
Unlike some more traditional martial arts that have a syllabus centuries years old and remain unchanged, BJJ is constantly evolving and adapting allowing practitioners to be creative and develop their own style.
Whether you are looking to get in shape, learn self defence, compete to be the next Jiu Jitsu champion or simply meet and socialise with like minded friendly people, B4L offers you a welcoming, safe environment to help reach your goals!

MANASSES FILHO
Manasses Filho, 3rd Degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt, B4L Head Coach
Manasses Filho, originally from Curitiba, Brazil, began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 1997 at the age of 15. In Curitiba, he trained at the legendary MMA gym Chute Boxe, as well as at renowned BJJ academies such as Gracie Barra and Arena Jiu Jitsu.
In 2008, he moved to Europe, and after earning his black belt in 2011, Manasses founded B4L Jiu Jitsu. Since then, he has taught and led seminars in schools across Brazil, Europe, and the UK. His expertise has also been sought by elite groups, including providing training and seminars for special forces such as the RAF in the UK.
When relocating to King’s Lynn in early 2016, the existing local BJJ club (King’s Lynn BJJ) quickly recognized the depth of knowledge and experience he brought. Sharing the same values, they welcomed him as head coach, where he continues to develop athletes and spread the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under the philosophy of Brothers for Life.
