Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has gained immense popularity worldwide due to its undeniable effectiveness. It has become a staple in the training routines of top MMA fighters for a significant reason—it empowers practitioners to control and overwhelm opponents through superior leverage, using chokes and joint locks.

Originally derived from Judo, Japanese Jiu Jitsu, and wrestling - BJJ was developed to empower smaller individuals in controlling larger opponents, making it a versatile martial art applicable to people of all sizes.

We firmly believe in the practicality of BJJ as a form of self-defence, making it an ideal choice for people of all fitness levels to improve their overall well-being—both physically and mentally!

Committing yourself to martial arts will instil self-confidence, discipline, and above all, offer you a supportive community of friends to share this incredible journey with.

Martial arts training is very different from other fitness activities. Indeed, it can be a life-changing journey for countless individuals. Our approach on the mats is characterized by utmost care, consideration, and trust. Fostering not only a safe and positive training environment, but also forging powerful and enduring friendships among teammates along the way.

Our classes cater to students with a variety of training goals. Whether you want to meet new people, learn self-defence skills, prepare for competition - or simply to be active and have fun! Our primary focus is to cultivate a positive learning atmosphere where everyone departs the mat feeling content, fit, connected, enlightened, and motivated.

When you become a part of Horsham BJJ, you'll be warmly embraced and immediately immersed in the camaraderie of our community. Building new friendships and establishing enduring bonds with your coaches and teammates, will make your training experience truly transformative and unlike anything you've ever tried before.
