01Why people start

Imagine how different you could feel after starting Jiu-Jitsu.

If you have tried getting fit before but struggled to stay motivated, this is probably what was missing. A class at a set time, with people expecting you, and a skill to show for it.

Learn real self-defence

Jiu-Jitsu works because it is pressure tested every session against someone actually resisting.

Improve your fitness and flexibility

Nobody counts reps. You train, you sweat, and the conditioning turns up on its own.

Build confidence and discipline

Turning up when you do not feel like it is the whole skill. It carries into everything else.

Train with a great community

Experienced instructors, and a room full of people who were beginners themselves.

02The beginners course

Start with people starting on the same day.

A new course opens every month, so you learn the basics alongside other complete beginners rather than being dropped into an advanced class.

  • Structured syllabus from the first lesson
  • Coaches who teach beginners every week, not occasionally
  • Gi provided for your first session
  • Changing rooms, showers and a members lounge

03Before you start

The things people worry about first.

I am not fit enough

Nobody is, at the start. You go at your own pace and the fitness follows the training.

I will be the worst there

Everyone on that mat was. Beginners courses run monthly so you start alongside other beginners.

I do not want to get hurt

No striking. You train with a partner, not against one, and you stop whenever you want.

I have no kit

Shorts and a t-shirt for the first session. We lend you a gi.

Avant-Garde coaches

Six months from now you will wish you had started today.

Ten euro and one hour, and you commit to nothing after it. Everyone in that room was a beginner once, and most of them remember exactly how it felt to walk in.
