Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a dynamic martial art and combat sport that focuses on ground-based grappling and submissions. Unlike many other martial arts, BJJ embraces positions such as fighting from the back, usually seen as vulnerable, as strategic and effective. The foundation of BJJ is that technique and positioning can overcome strength, making it accessible and powerful for people of all sizes and fitness levels. Whether you're training for sport, self-defence, or just for fun, BJJ empowers you to control, defend against, and submit opponents in realistic self-defence scenarios (though we recommend saving the armbars for the mats, not your friends!).
We are affiliated with one of the best BJJ gyms in Europe, London Grapple, so we can assure you will receive the highest quality of coaching at an affordable price (see below), and by being a KCLBJJ member, you are eligible to receive exclusive offers from London Grapple.

Regarding training wear, make sure to bring comfortable sportswear without any metal parts or zippers!
All of our sessions will be held at Bush House South-East wing, 8th Floor, in the activity rooms.
The membership fee can be purchased here for £45; a £3 (£6 for non-members) session fee needs to be paid for each session you go to (each session is 2 hrs, meaning you are only paying £1.50 (£3) for each hour of the highest quality coaching!!), or members can pay £30 for 12 sessions!
If you want to be a "seasoned submission-god", then you can buy the full years membership for £200 which gives you access to all the classes.
Newcomers receive their first session for free (no membership and session fee required), but in order to continue training, a KCLBJJ society membership must be purchased, or you will be unable to attend further sessions.
BJJ is a really fun sport no matter what your goals are; whether you want to enjoy it as a hobby or train to compete, it's entirely up to you, so who not give it a go and see if you like it!
