Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Technical Training. Live Practice. Long-Term Development.
At Saxon Combat Academy, our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program is built around technical learning, live training, problem solving, and long-term martial arts development in a supportive, no ego environment.
Whether you are completely new to grappling or already experienced, our classes are designed to help students build real skill, confidence, fitness, and understanding through structured coaching and practical training.
We offer both Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes throughout the week, helping students develop a complete grappling skillset.
What Is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art focused on:
- control
- positioning
- escapes
- submissions
- leverage and timing
Rather than relying on size or strength alone, BJJ teaches students how to solve problems and control situations through proper technique and decision making.
Training develops:
- confidence
- resilience
- fitness
- body awareness
- composure under pressure
- practical self-defence skills
Beginner Friendly
Most students who start training at Saxon Combat Academy begin with no experience at all.
You do not need:
- previous martial arts experience
- high fitness levels
- flexibility
- to “get fit first”
Our coaches guide students through the fundamentals step-by-step in a welcoming and structured environment designed for long-term progress.
Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Gi training is practiced wearing the traditional BJJ uniform (Gi).
Training focuses heavily on:
- grips
- positional control
- technical precision
- pressure and timing
- tactical exchanges
Gi training is excellent for developing strong technical foundations and a deeper understanding of positional grappling.
No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
No-Gi training is practiced in rash guards and shorts without the traditional Gi.
No-Gi typically involves:
- faster movement
- wrestling integration
- clinch work
- scrambles
- dynamic transitions
No-Gi training is highly applicable for submission grappling, MMA, and practical self-defence situations.
Training both Gi and No-Gi allows students to develop a more complete and adaptable grappling game.
Concept-Based Learning & Training Methods
At Saxon Combat Academy, we use a hybrid approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training that combines technical drilling with Constraint-Led Approach (CLA) training methods and live problem solving.
Rather than relying purely on memorisation, students are taught:
- positional concepts
- movement principles
- timing
- reactions
- decision making under pressure
Technical drilling is used to build understanding, coordination, and familiarity with core movements and positions, while CLA-style games and guided live training help students learn how to apply those skills dynamically against resistance.
This combination allows students to:
- develop technical fundamentals
- improve adaptability
- build timing and awareness
- learn practical application
- gain confidence in live rolling situations
Our goal is to help students not only learn techniques, but understand how and when to apply them effectively in real training scenarios.
