Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: A Legacy of Evolution and Excellence

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art — it’s the result of centuries of refinement, philosophy, and real-world application. Its journey spans ancient practices from Asia to Brazil, where it evolved into a complete system of self-defence rooted in leverage, balance, and strategy.

Built on Strong Principles

Advance Jiu-Jitsu was founded on the belief that martial arts can transform lives — building strength, confidence, and discipline both on and off the mats.

Rooted in the principles of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our teaching emphasises leverage, timing, and technique over brute strength. We honour the art’s origins while continuing to adapt it for modern practitioners of every background and ability.
