For 15 years Havering Jiu Jitsu Academy has been serving the local community.

What started as a small club has grown into a full community of children, adults and families training together every single week.

Over the years we’ve helped people improve confidence, fitness, discipline and mental wellbeing, while giving many young people a positive environment to grow up in.

Grassroots martial arts clubs can have a huge impact on local communities and we’re proud to have quietly kept building year after year through hard work and the support of our members.

We hope to see more recognition and support for community based clubs like ours in the future because the work being done across grassroots sport genuinely changes lives.

Thank you to every member, parent and supporter who has been part of the journey.

When engaged in a passing exchange, it’s important to have an unshakable base and strong posture. This is a great concept in principle, but it takes hours of conscious practice to develop.

Combine this with patience and consistent pressure on your opponent, whilst staying safe from submission attempts.

Fighting this way leaves the bottom player with no choice but to either expose their back or concede the pass.
sams demonstrated this in spectacular fashion at , comfortably submitting both of his opponents.

Tonight’s class will focus further on top pressure. If you want to learn what works, book a class via the link in our bio.

As parents, all we really want is for our kids to grow up confident, happy and able to handle themselves in life.

Martial arts helps with so much more than just self defence.

We see shy kids come out of their shell.
Kids with no confidence slowly start believing in themselves.
Kids learning how to work hard, listen, stay disciplined and be part of a team.

And the best part is they genuinely enjoy it.

No phones. No screens. Just hard work, learning and good people around them 👊

Proud of every single one of these kids.

There’s something special about families training together.

In a world where everyone is glued to screens and constantly distracted, martial arts gives families real time together. Real conversations. Real challenges. Real memories.

On the mats parents and kids grow together.
They support each other, push each other and share the journey side by side.

Confidence grows.
Discipline improves.
Relationships get stronger.

Some of the best moments in our academy come from watching families train together and achieve things they never thought possible.

One family. One team. One journey.

Dads training with their sons is a special thing indeed.

Here one of our old school black belts is letting his lad work from top position…

Or as most dads call it:
“Having a little rest between rounds.” 😂
