Your first session
Your First Jiu-Jitsu Session
Beginners are welcome. We’ll show you where to go, what to do and how to train safely — there is no expectation that you already know the rules.
Ready when you are
Plan your first class.
Come along to a session — Saturday No-Gi 1:00pm–3:00pm or Sunday Gi 2:00pm–3:30pm. £10 per class, ages 13 and over.
Pay £10 for a single class or £60 for a full month of both classes — or simply pay on the day.
What to expect
Arrive ready to learn.
Come a little before the class starts and introduce yourself to the instructor. You will be guided through the session and can ask questions at any point.
