Confidence built on control

Why Start Jiu Jitsu?

Jiu Jitsu is a workout that doesn’t feel like one.
You’ll learn to solve problems under pressure, shut your brain off from other stressors, and understand how to use your size and strength most effectively.
At ARMA, you’ll be in a safe, controlled, and ego-free environment. Plus, there’s no striking, and you’re encouraged to tap so you always have control of your comfort.

PICK YOUR STYLE

We offer both gi and no gi beginner classes. If this sounds like another language, check out our guide here.

LEARN FROM THE BEST

White belts at ARMA get the same world-class attention as black belts and the opportunity to learn from world champion Ffion Davies.

POST CLASS PERK

Finish your session with a sauna, cold plunge, or arguably the best coffee in London.

Your safest first step

The ARma Trial Session

Step onto the mats. Step into something bigger & discover what Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is really about in a taster session.
  • World-class coaching that remembers their own first class (no intimidation, no egos)
  • Beginner-only intro so you’re never out of your depth
  • Borrow a Gi for your session
  • Hands-on fundamentals: positions, why control beats strength, and how BJJ works in real life
Your first step isn’t about fitness. It’s about changing what you believe you can do.

(We will lend you a Gi for your session)

What they’re saying about ARMA Jiu Jitsu

“I thought I wasn’t strong enough to do BJJ. But after my first class, I realised strength doesn’t matter, technique does.”
Sophie - 28
new ARMA member
“My favourite parts of training here are the variety of classes and coaching styles that I have access to, as well as the safety and comfort of the space. ”
Toni
new ARMA member
“At first, I was honestly scared about getting injured breaking a limb or something like that but I quickly realized that’s not the case. You can always tap”
Abdul
new ARMA member

Everyone is a beginner once...

“I’m not fit enough.” 

”I’ll look silly.”
“It’s too intense.”
We built our beginners cohort with this in mind, because all our coaches have been exactly where you are.
Show up, see the space, spend 60 minutes moving in a way you haven’t before. Then, you decide if Jiu Jitsu is for you.
Today beats someday
