Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Led by black belt Andrew Dearsley, our team of passionate, high-level coaches want to teach you the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).
BJJ is a martial art based on grappling, ground fighting and submission holds. BJJ focuses on taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one's opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using several techniques to force them into submission via joint locks and choke holds.

BJJ is great for both fitness and self-defence and is a sport everyone can join, no matter your age, gender or fitness level.
