Rogue Classes

At its core, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an art form, a science, and a physical expression. Gain a deep understanding of the foundational principles that underpin every technique in BJJ. These principles are supported by key components, like mechanics, characteristics, and systems—the physics of BJJ. By mastering these, we don’t just memorise techniques—we understand the “why” behind them. This empowers you to adapt, modify, and innovate as you  discover new techniques and make them your own.

This innovative 60-minute class focuses on solving problems specific to your skill level, aspirations, and interests. By diving into “rabbit holes” of exploration, uncover challenges, experiment with solutions, and refine your understanding of BJJ in a fun, collaborative setting. An essential class for you if you love to problem-solve and think creatively.

Like learning a musical instrument, mastering BJJ requires regular, focused practice. Experience help with your techniques as you build muscle memory, and enhance your physical awareness. Bring the techniques you’re working on, and our instructors will guide you in mastering them—this tailoring your training to your unique body type, flexibility, strength and age.

Games classes use play-based training to test and contextualise techniques. Through creative, game-like scenarios, you’ll collect valuable data on what works (and what doesn’t), build awareness, and sharpen your systems of attack and defence. These sessions are ideal for you if you're looking to accelerate your skill progression while having fun.

Build confidence, strength, and self-awareness through the mechanics of BJJ. With a self-defence focus, Fighting Fit incorporates pad-work, calisthenics, bodyweight exercises, and partner drills to develop strength and conditioning. It’s perfect for improving your physical fitness as you enhance your BJJ skills.
