Who is it for?
Our beginner classes are ideal for men and women in and around the Tameside area who are interested in learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for self-defence but have either zero or little experience in this or any other martial art, especially if you don’t want to:
▶ Feel Intimidated or Unwelcome: We foster a friendly and supportive environment where everyone feels at home.
▶ Risk Getting Injured: With a focus on safety first, our training approach is designed to prevent injuries and ensure a smooth learning curve.
▶ Feel Embarrassed Due to Age or Current Ability: No matter your age or fitness level, our classes are structured to help you progress at your own pace without judgment.
What will you achieve?
The ultimate goal of our Gracie Combatives fundamentals program is to instill new levels of confidence and pride. These benefits extend beyond physical confrontations, positively influencing every aspect of your life. We achieve this by focusing on three main areas:
▶ Master the Essentials: Learn the 36 most crucial techniques in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, equipping you with skills that surpass 99% of the general population.
▶ Boost Fitness and Mindset: Enhance your physical condition and mental resilience, so you not only perform better but also feel great.
▶ Join Our Community: Become part of a supportive network that encourages and inspires you to continually grow and improve.
What we don't do...
We understand that many martial arts gyms can feel dominated by egos, designed for long-term members and without a focus on safety. This creates an uncomfortable and even dangerous environment for newcomers. Here’s how we do things differently at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Tameside:
▶ Designed for Beginners: You won’t be thrown in at the deep end with competitive advanced belts. Instead, you’ll train alongside other beginners who are at the same stage as you.
▶ Safety First Approach: Initially, there will be no sparring or live training. Everything is practiced cooperatively, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
▶ Universal Techniques: You don’t need to be flexible or in peak physical condition to start. Our techniques rely on natural body movements that anyone can learn.
▶ Encouraging Environment: Perfection isn’t expected on your first try, or ever — that’s not realistic. What matters is your progress and effort.
