Jiu-Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu is the least aggressive discipline (though highly competitive), where the aim is to neutralise your opponent by turning an apparent disadvantage into a dominant position, and forcing submission. There’s a lot of floor work (most real fights end up on the ground, and this is where the battle is won, if someone knows what they’re doing).

Our Jiu-Jitsu classes focus on grappling and ground-fighting techniques, perfect for self-defence situations.

Jiu-Jitsu focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one’s opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.

The relative strength of the opponents is made irrelevant by knowledge of the body’s vital points. Maximum results are produced from what seems like minimal physical effort.

Jiu-Jitsu Curriculum & Belt Grading

There is a series of belts and belt-stripes, to mark your progress every step of the way. Jiu-Jitsu doesn’t operate to a fixed syllabus, however, but gives attention to every individual student, ensuring they develop at a pace that suits them, mentally and physically.

Feedback – what our clients think of us:

"Been 4 years doing Jiu-Jitsu with Coach Abel. I'm approaching 50 but feel as fit as a fiddle. Great to be working with such enthusiastic people, many (most!) who are younger than me! Do it now!"

Tom

"Been with Coach Abel for 5 years now. Took me a year and a half to earn my Blue Belt. Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu is very demanding and detailed. I like that, because it means you really have to earn your belts. They don't give you your belt, you have to take it off them. You have to be ready and confident for the next one, so there are no illusions."

Mary

"I get so much from Jiu-Jitsu, and have been doing it now for 4 years. Coach Abel frequently uses me to demonstrate his techniques in front of the other students. I also assist generally with the classes. They say that the best way to learn is to teach, and how true that is."

Jan

"Coach Abel is the best in the business. I've been travelling from East to West London for over 4 years now just to train with him. His passion and enthusiasm for BJJ is contagious and keeps you coming back. He maintains a safe training environment for everyone and has built a great team around him. I highly recommend Coach Abel, I wouldn't train under anyone else."
