- Why we are training in a particular way
No stone is left unturned in your training with us.
No-Gi BJJ
Emphasis on movement, wrestling integration, lower body submissions, and transitional control. Sessions are fast-paced but structured, with a strong focus on clean technique and safe training practices.
Our club focuses on the full spectrum of submission grappling, with structured training that incorporates techniques from brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, wrestling, and related grappling disciplines. We prioritise sound fundamentals, positional understanding, and technical consistency, helping students build skill progressively whether they're new to grappling or have previous grappling experience.
What We Offer
Gi BJJ
Focus on control, grips, balance, and technical detail. Training in the gi develops patience, precision, and strong defensive habits, forming a solid base for long-term grappling development.
Kids BJJ (Gi)
Introducing grappling in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Build fitness, discipline, and confidence, while ensuring high coaching standards and clear supervision at all times.
Meet the Coaches
At Low Mass Jiu Jitsu, our coaching is built around clear, technical instruction, hard but smart rounds, and a focus on long-term progress over quick wins.
We emphasise positional understanding, control, and a strong no-gi base, while keeping training welcoming for beginners and challenging for experienced grapplers.

Training is a workout, but you go at your own pace. We focus on technical development first. Sparring is optional and always conducted with safety as the priority.

Safety is our #1 rule. We emphasize controlled movements and 'tapping' early. Our coaches ensure a respectful environment where everyone looks out for their training partners.
