NOTE: There will be no regular class on Thursday 10th as we have a reorganised taster class on this day!
NOTE: This week, we will be taking a £3 contactless payment on the door, as there seem to be issues with the SU website setting up paid tickets. You will still need to book a free ticket however, for capacity reasons. In future weeks, payments will be made online. Thank you for your patience!
Welcome back to UCLBJJ!
It was so great seeing so many of you at our taster classes over the last couple of weeks! You were all awesome, and we had so much fun introducing you to Jiu Jitsu! Let's have the best 2024/25!
This year we have some slight amendments to our timetable. We have been put in the MPR on a Monday evening unfortunately, and I know this is a super accessible slot for many of you. In order to maximise the number of people who can train on a Monday, and meet individual demands, we have decided to break up the slot and teach 2 classes:
Monday:
- 20:00 - 21:00 (Fundamentals, MPR),
- 21:00 - 22:00 (Structured Sparring, MPR)
These classes require 2 separate tickets.
If you are attending these classes, we will need to make the changeover as smooth as possible. If you are sparring, please wait until the MPR is clear of the first group before you come in.
Below are descriptions of what to expect for each of our classes:
Fundamentals:
Perfect for beginners! This class focuses on core techniques, basic movements, and key principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including escapes, positional control and submissions, tailored for beginners to build a great grappling foundation! Please attend this class if you are new to the sport!
Structured Sparring Class:
This class is all about positional sparring. You'll have clear goals to focus on, helping you improve specific areas of your game, and take your grappling to the next level. Please attend this class if you have a few months of prior experience!
Mixed Classes:
These classes offer instruction for all experience levels, focusing on refining fundamental techniques while introducing more advanced concepts. We encourage skill development through drilling, positional training, and live sparring, in a positive and uplifting atmosphere. All are welcome!
What you need:
If you are coming to train, please ensure you have the following:
- A UCLBJJ membership (or free taster membership if not already redeemed)
- A class ticket (book it here!)
- Appropriate clothing - NO pockets or zips! (A pair of flip flops is also recommended! (Our awesome UCLBJJ Club kit is available on our SU webpage, but not it is not mandatory!)
- Good hygiene: Clip and file your nails, shower before and after class, always train in freshly washed clothing
- A big smile and a great attitude!!!
Failure to have any of the aforementioned may result in you being denied entry to the class!
We really hope you all enjoy your first week of regular training. Can't wait to see you on the mats!
