Classes & Timetable
Our classes
Gi Classes
We have a wide variety of classes available to cover each one of our student’s needs. Our class timetable is split into our general classes of easy, medium and hard difficulty levels to cover beginner to advanced Jiu Jitsu where we are always grading our students. Using our training methodology and techniques to logically build your Jiu Jitsu knowledge and game, you will be able to progress through the levels at a speed which is best for you! From brand new starters right through to professional fighters we’ve got you covered!
No-Gi Classes
No-Gi is Jiu Jitsu without the kimono (BJJ suit). It is very similar to Jiu Jitsu in the Gi and both can be used to compliment each other. No-Gi is great for the self defence aspects of Jiu Jitsu. It’s a lot more fast paced that Gi and great for fitness. Combining both Gi and No-Gi will help you become a well-rounded complete grappler.
Judo
Although we have takedowns in Jiu Jitsu, we also have Judo classes to run alongside. Judo is a powerful martial art which specialises in bringing the action to the ground efficiently. Our regular Judo class is ran by a high level black belt instructor and also has the option to grade in Judo. Judo is traditionally in the Gi but can easily be adapted to No-Gi too.
Ladies Only
There are many benefits for women to train with men, but sometimes it’s just better for girls to train with each other. We have opened a spot on our time table solely for women. This is really helping our ladies squad come on leaps and bounds. It’s a very relaxed, friendly but competitive class, where girls can train together and push each other. Any girls out there looking to start Jiu Jitsu, this is definitely the best one to kick off with.
Kids & Teens
We also have 3 different classes for our kids and teens, which we call Young Eagles: the starter, the main and the teens. Starting from 6 years old, we can build them up until they turn 16 and watch them progress into adult grapplers. There are many success stories of kids in our gym, from some things as simple as kids building self-esteem or just getting a bit fitter, to the national champion competitors. Jiu Jitsu at this point is booming for kids and there are so many opportunities out there. Kids sessions are focused and tough but most of all fun!
Intro Class
The intro class is perfect for anyone who is curious about Jiu Jitsu and never trained before. It’s a very basic class designed for new members to come along and see what Jiu Jitsu is all about with other likeminded people. It’s a no pressure environment where you can learn the fundamentals at your own pace. The hardest part about starting your Jiu Jitsu journey is getting through the door. Once your on the mats we do the rest.
Private Tuition
Private classes are available daily with various instructors for various rates to suit your needs. Maybe the class environment doesn’t appeal to you, or you would like a more bespoke style of instruction? In that case private classes would be ideal. They can be booked in small groups or one to one. Feel free to get in touch to book.
