Seminars and Events
World-class seminars, in-house competitions and club socials throughout the year.
Alongside our regular classes, we host seminars, special events and club gatherings throughout the year. These are a big part of what makes Kingston Jiu Jitsu more than just a place to train.
Learn from the source
Our head instructor's mentor, Maurício Motta Gomes — Coral Belt and one of the most respected figures in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — regularly teaches seminars at the academy. Training under someone with his lineage and depth of experience is something very few clubs can offer.
Over the years we have also welcomed:
- José Leão Teixeira “Zé Beleza”
- Kit Dale
- Women's World Champion Emily Kwok
- Old-school UK BJJ pioneer Ben Poppleton
- And many other high-level instructors from the UK and abroad
Part of the Jiu Jitsu Brotherhood
We are proud to be part of the Jiu Jitsu Brotherhood network. This means:
- Inter-club training opportunities
- Hosted competitions and in-house events
- Shared seminars across the network
- A wider community beyond a single academy
More than just training
We also organise regular social events and club outings — club meals and celebrations, trips to Go Ape, Ninja Warrior courses, team days and social gatherings. Because Jiu Jitsu is not only about what happens on the mat; it's about the people you train with. Keep an eye on our newsletter and announcements for upcoming seminars and events.
