BJJ FUNDAMENTALS & SELF-DEFENCE COURSE
Our 6-week beginner programme is designed for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and practical self-defence in a safe, friendly, and supportive environment.
Whether you're looking to build confidence, learn valuable self-defence skills, improve your fitness, or simply try something new, this course is the perfect place to start.
The course is open to all genders, fitness levels, and experience levels. You don't need any previous martial arts experience—just a willingness to learn and have fun.

What You'll Learn
Throughout the course you'll be introduced to the core principles and movements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, along with practical self-defence skills that can be applied in real-world situations.
Topics covered include:
• Fundamental BJJ positions and movements
• Escapes from common holds and grabs
• Ground survival fundamentals
• Positional control and awareness
• Basic takedown defence
• Self-defence principles and personal safety
• Confidence under pressure
• Safe training practices
No-Gi Training
This is a **No-Gi** course, meaning there's no need to purchase a traditional BJJ gi or any specialist equipment before you start.
With the warmer weather arriving, many people find No-Gi training a more comfortable way to begin their BJJ journey. Simply wear comfortable sports clothing such as a t-shirt or rashguard with shorts, leggings, or tracksuit bottoms.
Bring a water bottle, comfortable training clothes, and a positive attitude—we'll help with the rest.
Course Structure & Attendance
We've carefully designed this programme so that each week's lessons build on the previous sessions, helping complete beginners progress step-by-step and gain confidence throughout the course.
Wednesday is the main course session and forms the foundation of the week's learning. Attendance at the Wednesday class is therefore required and cannot be swapped for another session.
The Thursday class continues and develops the material covered on Wednesday, giving you additional drilling, practice, and understanding of the techniques introduced that week.
We understand that life can get busy, and if you can't attend a Thursday session, you're welcome to attend another suitable class during the week instead.
Please note that replacement classes are part of our regular timetable and include students of mixed experience levels. While you'll still benefit from attending and getting mat time, these classes won't follow the same structured beginner curriculum as the Thursday course session, meaning you may miss some of the progression specifically planned for the programme.
To get the most from the course, we strongly recommend attending both Wednesday and Thursday sessions whenever possible.
