You've thought about this for a while
Maybe you've watched it online. Maybe a friend trains. Maybe you've wanted to try for years and something always got in the way, not fit enough, no experience, not sure you'd fit in, worried you'd get hurt.
Here's the truth: every single person on our mats started exactly where you are now: nervous, unsure, knowing nothing.
Four weeks later they were rolling, laughing, and wondering why they waited so long.
This course is ideal for you:
If You've never trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and want to give it a proper go
You feel a bit nervous about walking into a martial arts gym (completely normal)
You'd rather learn step-by-step than be thrown into a mixed-level class
You're worried about getting injured and want a safe, controlled environment
You want to get fitter, build confidence, and learn real self-defence
You're looking for beginner Jiu Jitsu classes in Woolwich or South East London
You don't need to be fit. You don't need any experience. You just need to show up, we'll handle the rest.
Train without the fear of getting hurt
A lot of beginners hold back because they picture getting smashed on day one. That's not how we teach.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is one of the safest martial arts to learn, there's no striking, no getting hit. On the intro course you train at a controlled, beginner-only pace.
You'll learn how to move safely, how to tap, and how to train with control long before any hard rolling.
Our coaches guide every drill, and our mats are ego-free by design. You progress when you're ready, never before.
What your 4-week beginner course includes
A structured curriculum built specifically for complete beginners
The real fundamentals: positions, escapes, control, and your first submissions
Practical self-defence you can actually use
A safe, controlled, beginner-only environment
Coaching focused on understanding — not pressure or competition
A one-to-one orientation session before you start
A clear pathway into our regular classes when the 4 weeks are up
By the end, you won't just have "tried" Jiu Jitsu. You'll actually understand it — and you'll know exactly what to do next.
Why Stance is the right place to start Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can feel like a lot. It's easy to fixate on the big goals straight away, competing, earning a black belt, getting in the best shape of your life. Those goals matter. But they're not what makes you improve at the start.
What matters is your foundation.
Showing up twice a week. Drilling the basics properly. Understanding position, balance and control before chasing fancy techniques. Get the fundamentals right and everything else comes faster.
That's exactly how our beginner course is built — no guesswork, no being thrown in at the deep end. Just a clear, patient method designed for people who are new to BJJ in South East London.
And remember: no one starts good. Progress takes time, and the right environment makes all the difference. A welcoming, ego-free BJJ club in Woolwich helps you stay consistent, build solid fundamentals, and actually enjoy the process — which is what keeps you coming back
