Tuition
Adult Classes
All are welcome. Men and women, young and older. Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu syllabus does not rely on force or strength, and our training is tailored to the physical abilities of the students. Re define the distance at which a fight is fought and manage the damage. A complete fighting system to control every aspect of a fight, that involves striking, distance management, closing the distance, taking the fight to the ground, and being comfortable in uncomfortable positions
Self Defense
Martial arts class where you learn to set boundaries, verbal de-escalation supported by the ability to defend against bad intentions by effectively using jiu jitsu to stay safe and keep the other person safe. The intention is to learn how to fight so that your confidence in an encounter means that you don't have to fight.
All ages
The class has attracted all ages from 13 to 82 years old, some new to martial arts training and others very experienced. We tailor the training to the physical needs of the individual to ensure that there are no injuries.
Social
We are a friendly club, and hold social events outside of the training, with meals during the year at local restaurants for those who are interested.
Gradings
Welcome to Bromley Combat Jiu Jitsu club grading structure. Gradings are an opportunity to focus on what you have learnt, your retention of the moves and a self assessment of what you know. Belts are a good system for keeping track of your progress so you can learn in a linear fashion and your skills build up systematically.
Belts
Red belt (10)-combat ready. 40 most used combat techniques plus variations.
Orange (9)-40 techniques plus variations focusing on stand up and takedowns.
Yellow (8,7)-40
Green (6,5)-40
Blue (4,3(-40
Brown (2,1)-40
Black-40
Black first degree-show ability to teach
Lessons
Whilst there are nearly 300 lessons, there are also variations resulting in about 1000 total learning points. The lessons can be supplemented by boxing practice with an amateur boxing coach.
Combatives
Students start by learning the combat basics of Jiu Jitsu, using the most relevant and used moves on the street. The time to be ready for a grading depends on the amount of time spent training, the ability to remember and retain the techniques taught and being able to recognise the moves needed depending on the attack.
Syllabus
Once complete, students are awarded their first belt, a red belt. For subsequent belts, there are about 40 lessons per belt plus variations. Once students are familiar with all the lessons, they can go for a grading. To make it more accessible, an interim assessment of the first 20 lessons allows them to move on to the next 20 so the gradings are not too long and demanding. This effectively means an interim assessment every 6 months with a belt promotion once a year. If a student takes some time out, this means they don't have to wait one year for a grading.
Time
The time taken depends on the individual students. If pushed for an answer, the general consensus is that it takes about 150 hours per belt after orange belt. This is a grading every 75 hours (or 6 monthly) if you train Jiu JItsu 12 hours per month (twice a week). Belt promotions are most likely once a year for the average student. As we have the opportunity to train 20 hours per month, this allows for some missed classes.
Black belt
The time taken to achieve any given belt is dependent on individual students. Some people learn quicker than others or have previous experience. Belts provide a good structure and are nice goals to have and everyone deserves the chance to get a good coaching qualification which will be something of pride for the future.
The belt system
Combat ready; red belt is the first belt and is awarded once the student has completed the combatives syllabus. This is the most used techniques on the street to get the student up to speed as quick as possible. We have a beginners class so that students can concentrate on the Combatives syllabus.
The orange, yellow, green, blue, brown and black belts provide all the drilling and rolling required to become familiar with the master cycle syllabus. As you progress to brown belt, the intensity of rolling increases with your technique development, so you use technique and not strength. Once you have your black belt, you have to demonstrate the ability to teach the techniques to obtain subsequent degrees or dan grades..
A first degree black belt allows you to coach students independently, but it is only the beginning of the journey and there is much more to learn if students are willing and able to continue.
Multi style martial arts
In this club, we are able to teach established versions of the karate, aiki jitsu and Brazilian jiu jitsu syllabus, but we have combined it into one syllabus, taking the best combatives element of each art. Whilst it is Jiu Jitsu based, we include everything we have learnt to make techniques effective in modern street combat. This means an effective stand up game and confidence when taken to the ground in a fight. Boxing coaching is provided in house with a fully qualified amateur boxing coach in a fully equipped boxing gym payable separately.
Avoid danger
For our club, this means avoiding conflict, being able to survive an attack, secure an attacker and use minimal force in an effort to minimise any damage. This is to protect you and the attacker against any future ramifications from an incident. We all just want to just get on with our day safely and securely. We hope you enjoy training.
