Back to school

Jiu-Jitsu requires discipline, focus, and dedication—qualities that are essential for success both inside and outside the classroom. If you would like to explore the benefits of Jiu-Jitsu in your school, Kevin would be delighted to hear from you.

OUR
CLASSES
KIDS & TEENS

Age 4-16
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is great for children’s development. It helps build a strong set of values, a solid character and helps them persevere to achieve their goals. Children from 4 years upwards all benefit from the core values of BJJ like focus, discipline, persistence, self defence, anti bullying and team work while learning the meaning of cooperation and respect. We use fun games, drills and technical demonstrations to build structure and make every class enjoyable. Our classes see a huge improvement in a child's confidence and behaviour after a very short period of time.
Our Teens classes (age 13-16) run alongside our adult Foundation classes. We are an inclusive and supportive community where individuals of all ages thrive, by training alongside adults our teen members cultivate a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual respect.
FOUNDATIONS

Adult Mixed Ability
These classes are designed for the beginner and advanced practitioner alike. We practice and drill the core fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and self-defence. We use fundamental techniques to give you the core skills needed to help you effectively and intelligently optimise your learning experience, giving you the building blocks and basic foundation required in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
ADVANCED

Adult Advanced
These classes focus on high level techniques and drills to shape and develop our students game, speed, reflexes and reaction time to help us transition from different positions and submissions. This is also developed through 'ROLLING', where we put our technical knowledge to test live in practice in a safe and enjoyable way.
OUR STUDIO, YOUR SUCCESS
We keep things clean, in our conduct and on our mats, because we understand the importance of cleanliness in contact sports like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It's why we prioritise hygiene, to give you peace of mind at every training session so you can stay focussed on your success.
