Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
If you're weighing up martial arts, here's what makes jiu-jitsu different.
- No striking: BJJ is grappling. You learn to control a situation, not trade punches.
- Technique beats size. It's the martial art built for normal people, not athletes.
- Every class is a full-body workout that never feels like a treadmill.
- The skills are real: you practise against resisting partners, safely, from early on.
- Beginners train with beginners. Nobody gets thrown in at the deep end.
- It's as much chess as sport: people stay for the problem-solving as much as the fitness.
Is this for you?
- You've never trained before and don't know where to start
- You want to get fit doing something more interesting than a treadmill
- You want practical self-defence skills that actually work
- You're in your 30s, 40s or 50s. Most of our beginners are too
- Old injuries? Tell your coach and we train around them
- You're nervous about walking into a martial arts gym. Everyone here was once

What our members say
“I walked in terrified and unfit. Six weeks later I look forward to every single session. The coaches meet you exactly where you are.”

Questions, answered
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. The challenge is designed to build your fitness from wherever you are now. You go at your own pace from day one.
Will I be thrown in with experienced people?
No. Beginner classes are exactly that: beginners. You'll be learning alongside people who started the same month as you.
What do I need for my first session?
Comfortable sportswear and a bottle of water. We'll sort everything else, including a uniform if you continue.
What happens after the 6 weeks?
That's up to you. The challenge is complete in itself: no contract, no auto-enrolment, nothing to cancel. Most people finish knowing exactly whether jiu-jitsu is for them.
How much does it cost?
Your trial session is free. The 6-Week Challenge is £349 one-time, with everything included: all twelve sessions, your uniform, and the money-back guarantee.
You've thought about this long enough
The trial costs nothing. Waiting does: every month of 'one day' is another month of feeling exactly how you feel now. One session and you'll know.
