Most people are nervous before their first class. That’s normal. We slow things down, introduce you to the room and make sure you always know what to do next.
You don’t need to “get fit first.” Training helps you build fitness naturally as you learn.
You’ll be shown around, and classes follow a clear structure so you can learn step by step.
Every class gives you a small win: a new skill, more confidence and proof you can do hard things.
No awkward guessing. No pressure. Your first visit is simple, guided and designed to help you feel comfortable.
Begin with an induction session, then enjoy 28 days of unlimited beginner classes plus a free uniform.
We prepare you step by step. You’ll learn the philosophy, principles and positions, including what you need to stay safe.
Build confidence through unlimited beginner classes, with clear coaching and support at your own pace.
By the end of your 28 days, you're not a complete beginner anymore - you're one of us, with skills to keep going, stay safe, and learn jiu jitsu for a lifetime.

Women's Jiu Jitsu Classes →“Incredible team here at Higher Jiu Jitsu. As a beginner, it can be quite intimidating getting started but they have created an environment that fosters learning, camaraderie, and fun competition. Highly recommend to those looking to get started!!”
“Started here having never done any martial arts before, and absolutely love it! The community is amazing and John (the owner) has been incredible. It's a very welcoming environment and perfect for anyone, whether you have done BJJ before or are a newbie.”
“As a mid-40s enthusiast, I was initially unsure if Jiu Jitsu would be right for me, but after trying the free session, I'm about to start my third week. I've been thoroughly impressed by the diverse and welcoming group here, with knowledgeable instructors offering tailored support for all fitness levels.”
Do I need any experience or fitness first?
No. Every class starts from the fundamentals, and coaching meets you at your level from day one. Fitness comes from training, not before it.
Am I too old to start Jiu Jitsu?
No. Members range from their 20s to their 60s, including a dedicated Over 40’s Crew. Technique and control beat speed and youth, every time.
What should I wear to my first class?
Just comfortable gym gear (t-shirt, shorts or trackpants). Join the 28-Day Kickstart and a uniform is included.
Will I have to fight or spar straight away?
No. You’ll learn positioning and technique first. Sparring is introduced gradually, at a pace you control, once you’re ready
