My son loves the club. Great mix of fun and discipline, would happily recommend. Ben and PJ both great teachers

Tom

One of the highest level BJJ gyms in London. Top notch coaching

Roberta

Dropped in for my first visit today for an open mat with los banditos crew too and despite being the only woman on the mat, the level of care, safety and technique displayed by both students/coaches were unreal. I had an amazing time and felt very looked after. Great rolls and great environment, would definitely go back and 100% recommend it to other women 🙏

If you're looking for the best jiu jitsu training in London, look no further. Eoghan and Silviu are outstanding coaches who provide game-changing instruction in both wrestling and jiu jitsu. Their teaching methodology is the most systematic and effective I’ve encountered, making every class an essential part of your training and growth. The value for money is exceptional, and you'll meet a great community of people. Plus, the walk to and from Hammersmith Station is enjoyable!

Specialized in No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Submission Grappling

What is No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?

No-Gi BJJ is a dynamic form of grappling that focuses on practical self-defense and sport competition without traditional martial arts uniforms. Unlike traditional BJJ where practitioners wear a heavy cotton uniform (the "gi"), No-Gi participants wear light, athletic clothing - typically compression shorts/pants and a rash guard.

Key Benefits of No-Gi Training

First class knowledge being shared and taught by Eoghan and Silviu. A very welcoming environment and good vibes on the mat. I will visit as much as my diary allows, but if I lived in London I would be on their mats every night. If you are in the City and want great training hit them up.

Instructors like Eoghan O’Flanagan who’s literally ranked as one of the best in his weight division in the sport and Silviu who’s a veteran in BJJ, Judo and Wrestling, you can’t go wrong with such knowledgable instructors. Fair price, Good vibes and atmosphere in the gym also.
