Xplore Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a BJJ & Submission Grappling club that welcomes everyone onto our mats.
We see the club as a diverse family working together and ‘levelling up’ through training, competition, and fun.
Our experienced coaches offer introductory and advanced classes for adults, and kid’s classes for different ages. Additionally, we provide supplementary judo and wrestling workshops led by professionals that have competed at the highest levels. 1 to 1 classes and over 40s sessions are also available according to demand, and periodic seminars from special guest practitioners help to keep the Xplore at the cutting edge of BJJ concepts.
For those interested in Submission Grappling for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) rest assured that our team can support you in the development of your ground game. Xplore currently work with individual MMA fighters as well as entire teams to enhance their No-Gi Jiu Jitsu. We will ensure that you have all the XP that you need for your next fight.
At Xplore you can expect to develop your BJJ XP, life skills, make friends, grow in confidence and self-esteem, and have an overall greater sense of wellbeing.
Protein is one of three macronutrients the body needs to sustain life. Smaller components called amino acids are linked together to form different proteins, and when we consume these proteins, the amino acids are broken down and subsequently reformed into the building blocks our body needs in order to function properly.
All cellular action depends on protein and amino acids to function.
That depends on who you ask. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommend 50 grams of protein per day for anyone over 4 years old. This number is based on a 2,000 calorie diet, and as you can imagine, is pretty generic.
Since protein acts as the building blocks of life, a more reasonable way to calculate your needs is based on your body mass. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) suggests a simple equation where you can multiply your body weight (in pounds) by 0.36 for your daily requirement.
