I can't thank Sam and the team enough for the encouragement & support provided. The gym is a welcoming environment for all levels, I get along with everyone in the gym. You really do feel part of something great at Smoothflo.
I had a 7 day free trial feeling a little nervous about whether I'd enjoy it or be able to practise Jiu-Jitsu, let's just say the rest is history and I'm still attending. Jiu Jitsu has improved my mental & physical health, helped me gain confidence & form strong bonds.

Why Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu?
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has seen a remarkable rise in popularity in recent years, captivating individuals from all walks of life.
So, what sets BJJ apart from other martial arts alternatives like karate, taekwondo, kung fu, judo and krav maga?
Sparring
Sparring
Fun, Practical, and Safe Sparring
BJJ sparring sessions are not only thrilling and enjoyable, they also provide an opportunity to develop real-life self-defence skills. Unlike drilling theoretical techniques, sparring allows you to apply your techniques in realistic scenarios, honing your reflexes and problem-solving abilities.
While some martial arts involve striking techniques that can result in injuries during sparring, BJJ focuses primarily on grappling and submissions. This allows practitioners to freely spar without the added risk of strikes, fostering a safer and more inclusive training environment.

Fitness, Strength, and Flexibility Benefits
BJJ provides a comprehensive full-body workout. Engaging in the art improves cardiovascular health, muscular endurance, and flexibility – all while having fun on the mat.
Inclusivity
Inclusivity
Age, Gender, and Fitness Inclusivity
BJJ is truly for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or fitness level. It's not about being the fastest or strongest; it's about using leverage and technique to overcome your opponent. This inclusivity fosters a supportive and diverse community where everyone can thrive and grow.

Safely Restrain Larger or Fitter Opponents
BJJ equips you with the ability to defend yourself safely, even against opponents who are larger or more physically fit. By utilising leverage and submission holds, you can neutralise their strength and protect yourself effectively without resorting to unnecessary violence.
