The Armbar Explained!

Earlier this year, our Brazilian Jiujitsu team traveled to the Philippines to compete at the Manila Open organised the International Brazilian Jiujitsu Federation.

11 of them successfully brought home a medal each and some, brought home 2! This time round, our Monarchy BJJ Team of 9 repeated the same achievement at the International Masters Asia and Tokyo Open hosted by IBJJF just last month.

Our biggest and fastest growing kids class is our Kids BJJ class. We started out with only afew pairs of siblings, and now we have almost 20 per class with 2 branches running classes simultaneously!

This year we expanded and added a 3rd branch over in Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur.  

At our newest branch kids classes are available everyday with Muay Thai, Boxing, Brazilian Jiujitsu and Wrestling.

But of course, we want to encourage that they come for all classes to experience the different forms of martial arts from striking, takedown and ground based martial arts.
