Martial arts in Övertorneå
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission wrestling and boxing
Get in shape
You get a good workout where fitness, strength and mobility come along for free while you're busy solving problems.
Powerful self-defence
You learn to handle an opponent who's bigger and stronger than you. It's a skill, not just a way to train.
Social and fun
You get to know people fast when you train with them. Many come as much for the company as for the training.

Common questions
What people usually wonder
Do I need to be fit to train here?
Absolutely not! People here train at every level and you go at your own pace from the first session. The fitness comes from the training, you don’t need it beforehand.
What if I know nothing?
That’s exactly how everyone started, and nothing is expected of you. The basics are what matter, and the basics are what we work on.
Can girls and women train?
Of course. One big advantage is learning to protect yourself against a bigger and stronger opponent, and we think everyone should learn to defend themselves.
Isn't it uncomfortable being that close to someone?
Many people think so at first, yes. Don’t worry, you get used to it surprisingly fast and you’ll feel safe and be far too busy having fun.
Do I have to spar?
No, but sparring is the biggest part of the training, so most people try it fairly soon. You set the pace together, and whoever has trained longer adapts to you.
Isn't it dangerous?
We train martial arts, so of course there’s a risk of injury. That’s why we do techniques under control, so there’s time to stop before anyone gets hurt, and why we stay away from the most dangerous situations. Expect the odd bruise, but real injuries are rare.
