The Kodokan
Never Venture . Never Win
A Private Members Club for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Enthusiasts
What Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ?
Think of BJJ as the art of turning the tables. It’s a martial art that teaches smaller, weaker people how to control and defeat larger, stronger opponents by using leverage, balance, and technique instead of brute force.
Jiu-Jitsu is about control. You’ll learn how to stay calm under pressure, escape from tough spots, and eventually turn defence into offense.
At its heart, BJJ is problem-solving under pressure. Every roll is like a chess match, except the board is your body, and the reward is confidence you carry everywhere.
this means:
-
You won’t be thrown in over your head. Your first classes are focused on the basics such as positions, movements, and how to stay safe.
-
You’ll gain practical skills from day one. Even after your very first class, you’ll walk out knowing how to protect yourself.
-
You’ll build fitness without realising it. Every class is a workout that sharpens both body and mind.
Starting out at The Kodokan
The Kodokan is not a fight gym. It feels more like a private club where you’re welcomed the moment you walk in. No one expects you to have it all figured out. every black belt once walked in for their very first class in just the same way.
Our coaches are here to make things simple. They break down movements step by step, guiding you at your own pace so nothing feels overwhelming.
you won’t be doing it alone. Most of our members are everyday people like professionals, parents, students who train to better themselves, not to prove something. The support you’ll feel on the mats is real.
You’ll sweat. You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. And every time you step off the mat, you’ll leave feeling better than when you walked in.
