Questions
Good to know.
Is this BJJ for yeshiva students in Jerusalem?
Yes. The Yeshiva Grappling League runs Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and self-defense classes for English-speaking yeshivot across Israel, with open mats that bring bochurim from different yeshivot together.
Does it interfere with seder?
Never. Every class and open mat is scheduled around seder: night seder alternatives, Friday mornings, or bein hazmanim.
What does the yeshiva need to provide?
Just the space. A nearby park, a shiur room that's free for the hour, or a dining room after seder. I bring the mats and all the equipment.
How big are the classes?
3–6 bochurim per class, so everyone gets real attention.
Do bochurim need experience?
No. Classes are beginner-friendly, technique-first, and fully supervised. Sparring is matched by size and experience.
