Grappling & BJJ
Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art and combat sport system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting.
BJJ promotes the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger, heavier assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and most notably, taking the fight to the ground.
Building competency at all ranges of combat is important. Ground fighting is essential for self-defence. A high percentage of real fights end up in some sort of grapple, either standing or on the ground: the key thing is to get back to your feet quickly and safely.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also one of the fastest growing sports and martial arts in the UK and around the World.
Students may compete in the sport of; Submission Grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is challenging, good fun and highly addictive

Testimonials
What Our Students Are Saying …
“I have been a student of Sifu Patel for approx. 7 years, when I first started, I had very little knowledge, & wasn’t fit, however due to Sifu Patel’s dedication & training methods I have progressed, & I am one of the older members of his school. Very friendly school, & I thoroughly enjoy my training sessions.”
“I could not recommend Sifu Patel enough! Firstly, the knowledge that has been shared with me and the skills I have picked up are second to none – I am now such a more confident person because of the life skills I have been taught, along with improved fitness too!! The people are also extremely welcoming ands helpful, starting something new is always daunting and my fellow students made me feel part of the group immediately!”
