BEGINNER'S CLASSES
Beginners Programme
Starting Jiu Jitsu can feel intimidating, but our beginners’ programme is designed to make it simple, structured, and enjoyable from day one.
We run two weekly classes focused on helping you build a solid foundation:
• Monday 6 pm – Beginners Only (White Belts)
• Friday 7 pm – Fundamentals Class (Open to All Belt Levels)
Both sessions follow the same curriculum, ensuring you can learn at your own pace and repeat key techniques until they become second nature.
What You’ll Learn
Our programme covers everything you need to progress confidently towards your blue belt, including:
• Fundamental movements and escapes
• The key positions of Jiu Jitsu (guard, mount, side control, back control)
• Essential submissions and sweeps
• Basic takedowns and self-defence applications
• How to train safely and effectively with partners of all levels
Whether your goal is fitness, self-defence, or eventually earning your blue belt, this programme gives you the foundation to build your entire Jiu Jitsu journey on.
Testimonials
“10 months ago, I signed up for Kingston Jiu-Jitsu’s beginner’s classes, and it’s proven to be one of my best decisions to date. The classes taught me some self-defence techniques and the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, giving me the confidence and eagerness to continue training. Starting a martial art can be intimidating; I was hesitant at first, but Marc’s friendly, welcoming nature made it easy to come back week after week. My training partners became my friends fast! That’s a testament to the club spirit Marc has created here!“
– Joshua Sadraoui – Kingston Jiu-Jitsu student
“The thing that struck me immediately about my first evening at the beginner’s class was the supportive atmosphere. Marc and the other students made me feel so welcome. I felt comfortable being a beginner, and this was key. At the end of the class, I knew that I had found my school, and that Jiu-Jitsu would be part of my life moving forward. I can’t recommend this club any more highly. Marc is an excellent Jiu-Jitsu teacher.“
