An Introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Submission Grappling
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art built on the principle that technique and leverage can overcome strength and size. Instead of striking, the focus is on clinching, takedowns, controlling positions, and finishing with submissions such as chokes or joint locks. Training is always done with live resistance, which makes the skills highly practical for both sport competition and self-defence.
Submission grappling, sometimes called “no-gi BJJ,” shares the same foundation but is practised without the traditional kimono, emphasising grips, wrestling-style movement, and fast-paced exchanges.
The benefits extend far beyond the mats:
A full-body workout that develops strength, flexibility, and endurance
Enhanced mental sharpness, focus, and problem-solving
Building confidence and resilience through testing yourself in a safe, structured way
Becoming part of a supportive community where beginners and advanced athletes train side by side
MEET THE COACH
Jared Eaton is a respected brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with 9+ years on the mats and wins on major UK and European shows, including Polaris and Grapplefest. A two-time British no-gi champion, he earned his brown belt from Fred Greenall (Scramble Academy Leeds), where he completed most of his training. Jared has coached complete beginners through their first competition wins and guided athletes to European titles and world-level medals.
His coaching focuses on building a complete grappling game—integrating BJJ, wrestling, and judo—teaching not just techniques but the underlying principles that make them work. The goal: intelligent, adaptable grapplers who can apply their skills under pressure.
