About Us

Our story

We have one simple mission: to create a space where anyone—regardless of background, age, or experience—can walk through the door, feel welcomed on the mats and develop themselves through Jiu Jitsu.

The academy has been grounded in the belief that jiu-jitsu is more than just a combat sport, martial art or form of self defence. It’s a tool for transformation. For many, stepping onto the mats becomes a lifeline—a way to face life’s challenges head-on, build resilience, and find peace in the chaos. Jiu-jitsu teaches us humility, patience, discipline, and strength—not just physical strength, but the inner kind that helps us overcome adversity.

Here, there’s no room for ego. Everyone is on their own journey, and every roll is an opportunity to grow—win, lose, or learn. That mindset runs through everything we do, and our coaches and instructors lead by this example every day.

You’ll find us nestled in the heart of Haslemere, just a short walk from the station. Our academy sits inside a beautifully converted chapel—complete with wooden floors, vaulted ceilings, and stained glass windows that shine natural light through onto the mats—creating a unique and welcoming space to train.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned grappler, we’re here to help you get better with every roll. Come as you are. Leave better.
