Defiant Martial Arts

Recently we rearranged the timetable with a goal to solidify the team and promote the growth of upper and lower belts alike, with a 50/50 split of white to blue/purple/brown at class tonight!!

When you start out in Brazilian jiu jitsu it can often seem daunting to roll or practice with someone with much more experience but the opposite is true - not only is it part of the culture to give newer folks more time to figure something out, but the control of movement should be safer and thus more enjoyable. But not going to lie - it’s never easier

This is the season of living 🤘🏻

Coming to a new gym, trying a new sport and being the new face can de daunting but we like to believe we are a friendly lot and super welcoming

After all we all have our ‘remember your first day on the mats’ moment and understand. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a different approach to athleticism - the burst of power can take you back at first and make your anaerobic background seem nonexistent - so the fundamental classes is a great place to begin your journey

With dedicated warm ups, technical instruction and time to practice the (optional) team photo at the end is a kind reminder of your efforts and the people you trained with

We are always happy to see you on the mats so if you are considering something different, check us out Monday and Thursday at 6pm

Ladies Open Mat!!!! Great teaching and rolls - thankyou for amazing visitor also 💜

Look at those belts!!! From youth grey and yellow right up to purple - fundamentals class is great for all levels. From when you learn of a new technique or you are going over it again or rediscovering a position, Fundamental classes - Monday and Thursday at 6pm - is a class for all

Amazing to see the wrestling team growing followed by a colourful gi class right after

When lunch class starts to level up and gain momentum
