Want to try a martial art?
Come try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is widely accepted as the most effective stand alone martial art (watch UFC 1 if you don't believe us), where smaller, weaker individuals can overcome larger opponents with well applied technique and leverage. It focuses on taking the fight to the ground, advancing to dominant positions, and using chokes or joint locks to submit your partner, and finish the match.
BJJ is not only a great workout, but also an engaging way to apply problem-solving skills in a physical setting, whether training for competition or self-defence.
Our beginner friendly tasters require no prior experience or equipment. Our experienced coaches will teach you some powerful techniques and give you the chance to try them yourself in a controlled and safe live setting.
Find us in the Multipurpose Room in the TeamUCL gym, the third floor of Bloomsbury Theatre!
Please wear sports appropriate clothing, ideally with no zips or pockets.
Everyone is welcome!
Note: The women-only taster classes will be taught by our regular coaches, Zach and Bailey, but all participants will be women. Also, our returning ladies will be there to answer any questions and share their personal experiences — so don’t hesitate to ask!
