Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone not just young males that like rough and tumble. All the moves you learn are done so slowly that there is almost no chance of getting hurt. We also make sure you are matched with a partner that fits the type of person you are so you get the most out of the training. Above all it is very important everyone has a fun time, which is the best environment to learn in.

Please speak to us as there may be an opportunity to train as an affiliate.

Even if your child hasn’t been bullied it is no reason not to prepare them for it. Eventually there will come a time when someone at school will try and take advantage of or be unkind to your little one. If you child trains with us they will be ready when this time comes.[/toggle]
[toggle title=”My child is tough and doesn’t need GJJ.”]There is always someone tougher than you but if you think there is little chance your child will need to have GJJ to stop bullying there is another reason for them to train with us. We don’t just teach your child to fight, we also teach them to be good human beings. We don’t create bullies we teach our students to respect each other and use their power to help others.

You do not need to go to the gym to get fit first. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is a fantastic way to get healthy and fit plus compared to the gym it is great fun.

Just like the Gracie Academy HQ in California we have a no barrier policy between men and women. However we understand this can be a problem for women who are not used to this art. If this is the case we recommend you start with the women’s only self-defence classes then, as you build confidence in these kinds of moves, when you are ready, you can move to the main adults classes and learn the full GJJ system. Please bear in mind the women’s classes do not include the full martial art just the moves that will protect you from a sexual predator, however these moves are an excellent intro to the full system.

You may think you will never use the skills we teach but in fact you will be using them every time you speak. How? Confidence! By knowing you can comfortable defend yourself, your confidence will increase a huge amount and this will allow you to become a better Father/Mother, Husband/Wife, Business Person, Parent & Person.
