Great both for fitness and self-defence. In these classes you will learn how to defend yourself both in standing and on the ground and be able to practise your techniques during sparring.

  • My boys have been going for nearly two years and really enjoy it. BJJ has helped them grow in confidence and Joao has been a fantastic instructor. Highly recommend!
