A GOOD WEEK ON THE MATS.
Fuller classes, hard rounds, plenty of learning, and a few new faces joining us throughout the week.
We might have forgotten to grab the post-class selfies on Monday, but we'll take that as a sign that everyone was too busy training. 😂
Another week of showing up, putting in the work, and enjoying Jiu-Jitsu together.
See you on the mats next week!
LADIES, WOULD YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?
Self-defence isn't about being the strongest person in the room. It's about knowing how to respond when things don't go according to plan.
Here's a little look at one of the skills we work on in our Women's Only Self Defence classes—first the technique, then putting it into practice.
Our classes are completely free, and beginners are always welcome.
If you'd like to join us, get in touch using the contact details in our bio to reserve your spot.
Confidence is a skill. Train it.
ONE ATTACK. THEN THE NEXT.
Your opponent managed to defend the armbar. Great.
Don't force it—use their defence to find the next opportunity.
This week's Gi technique flows from an armbar straight into an omoplata, showing why having a second attack ready can make all the difference.
When they defend, adapt.

LADIES, YOU DON'T NEED TO BE STRONG TO LEARN SELF-DEFENCE.
You don't need experience. You don't need to be particularly fit. And you definitely don't need to wait until you feel confident enough to start.
That's what training is for.
Our Women's Only Self Defence classes are completely free and designed to help you learn practical skills while building confidence along the way.
If you've been thinking about giving it a try, get in touch using the contact details in our bio to find out when our next class is running.
Confidence is a skill. Train it.
ESCAPE THE MOUNT. KEEP ATTACKING.
Getting out of a bad position doesn't mean the exchange is over.
This week's No-Gi technique starts with a mount escape and immediately turns that escape into an attack on the legs.
Don't just survive the position. Use the opportunity.

A LITTLE LOOK AT LIFE ON THE MATS
Some post class selfies, some open mat rounds, a little behind the scenes chaos 🤣
Because not every moment at Brothers in Grappling is about perfect technique. Sometimes it’s about the hard rounds, the good laughs, the friendships, and occasionally moving a fellow coach out of the way because you need to roll with your student.
It’s all part of being part of the community.
NO HANDS. JUST JIU-JITSU.
What happens when we take away the hands and make the kids solve the problem with their bodies?
This game starts from side control. The person on top has one job: stay there.
The person underneath has to find a way out — either escape from underneath their partner or knock them off balance.
It might look like a game, but they’re working on some very important jiu-jitsu skills: movement, balance, pressure, timing and problem-solving.
And yes, you can learn a lot with just two people on the mat.
SWEEP → TRANSITION → FINISH.
Start with the single leg X entry.
Use the sweep to create the opening.
Then follow the movement straight into the ankle lock.
Don't stop when you get the sweep. Look for what's available next.
Share your favourite attack from Single Leg X Entry in the comments below!
CONFIDENCE IS A SKILL. TRAIN IT.
Our Women’s Only Self Defence class is back tomorrow night.
These sessions are about learning practical skills, getting comfortable with movement, and building confidence in your ability to respond when things don’t go as planned.
You don’t need to be strong.
You don’t need any previous experience.
You just need to show up.
Want to join in on the fun? Let us know — we’d love to have you on the mats.
DON'T JUST HOLD HALF GUARD. ATTACK FROM IT.
A small adjustment can create a big opening.
Half guard → arm isolation → armbar.
Don't force the submission. Create the position that makes it available.
