UoL Jiu Jitsu

Self-defence makes you safer, more certain, and more confident in everyday life. Whether you're at novice level or a more experienced martial artist, Jiu-Jitsu is a greatly respected martial art which forms the basis of modern BJJ and Judo. For those who want to defend themselves and others and/or those who would like to compete at a high level, join us today by sending us an email or messaging us on Instagram. Your first session is free!

Coaching and Training

At the club we have the privilege of being trained by a BJJA Level 3 certified, two time national gold medalist so that we can provide the highest quality of training, of which there are three sessions every week, weekday sessions being dedicated towards self defence and belt progression while the weekend session will take on a more competition based focus. For a £45 membership this is a good price.

Socials

The importance of getting to know each other off the mats is just as important as training on the mats. Throughout the year we organise numerous socials with and without alcohol at no extra membership cost. These socials are a great way to get to know your colleagues and make friends with like minded people!

Competiton

As a fully licenced club we have the opportunity to compete at 3 British Jiu Jitsu Nationals that are held throughout the year for anyone with a yellow belt (second grade) or above as well as an inter club.

In addition to this we aim to hold friendly matches between local clubs, including DMU.
