ZKS MA Aylesbury

Why Adults Stay
THEY COME FOR FITNESS.
THEY STAY FOR EVERYTHING ELSE.
People often tell us they're joining because they want to:
• Get fitter
• Lose weight
• Learn self-defence
• Try something different
Those are all great reasons to start.
But they're rarely the reason people keep training.
They stay because they enjoy challenging themselves.
They stay because they make friends.
They stay because every session teaches them something new.
They stay because they become part of a team.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu changes far more than your fitness.
It changes the way you see yourself.
If you've been waiting for the right time to begin...
This is it.

THIS COULD BE THE BEST DECISION YOU MAKE THIS YEAR.
Your journey starts this September.
This time next year you could still be saying...
"I've always wanted to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu."
Or...
You could look back and realise you made one of the best decisions of the year.
Over the last few weeks we've shared what makes the Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme different.
✔️ A structured 12-week programme
✔️ Professional coaching
✔️ A small group of just 12 beginners
✔️ A welcoming community
Now there's only one question left.
Will you be joining us?
Everyone has a first lesson.
This September could be yours.

You have seen what makes the Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme different. Now it is time to decide whether this could be your starting point.
This is not an open-ended gym membership or a mixed class where everyone else is already ahead.
It is a structured 12-week introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, created specifically for adults and teenagers aged 16+ with no previous experience.
You will receive:
Professional coaching in every session
A clear programme that develops week by week
Personal support within a group of only 12 beginners
Improved fitness, mobility and confidence
Practical self-defence skills
A welcoming community to continue training with afterwards
Everyone starts together.
No one is expected to arrive fit, confident or already knowing what to do.
You simply need to be willing to begin.

You already trust us with your child’s martial arts journey. Now you can experience one of your own.
Many ZKS parents have watched their children become more confident, resilient and capable through martial arts.
The Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme gives adults and teenagers aged 16+ the opportunity to experience those same benefits for themselves.
You will learn in a small group of complete beginners, following a structured 12-week programme with personal coaching and support throughout.
You do not need to be fit before starting.
You do not need previous experience.
You will not be joining a class where everyone else is already ahead.
Everyone begins together and progresses from the same starting point.
For existing ZKS families, it is also an opportunity to understand more about what your child experiences on the mats—and to lead by example by becoming a beginner yourself.
Starts Wednesday 2 September 2026
12 coached sessions: £150
Limited to 12 complete beginners

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gives you more than a workout. It gives you practical skills.
During the Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme, you will learn how to stay calm, move effectively and use technique rather than relying on strength.
Across the 12 weeks, we will introduce you to:
Essential positions and controls
Escapes from common situations
Simple sweeps and reversals
Safe submissions and defence
Practical self-defence principles
Controlled live training when you are ready
Everything is taught step by step and practised in a safe, supportive environment.
You will not be expected to fight, compete or prove how tough you are.
The aim is to help you understand how Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu works, build confidence in your own ability and develop skills that stay with you long after the programme finishes.
Everyone starts together.
Only 12 complete beginners will take part.
Starts Wednesday 2 September 2026
12 professionally coached sessions for £150

Joining a gym is great—but it is not the right fit for everyone.
A gym gives you access to equipment, but you are usually responsible for deciding what to do, keeping yourself motivated and working out alone.
The Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme offers something different.
Every session is coached.
Every lesson has a clear purpose.
Every week builds on the last.
You will train with a small group of complete beginners who are all starting at the same level, so you will never feel as though you are trying to catch up with an established class.
Instead of simply exercising, you will be:
✅ Learning practical skills
✅ Improving your fitness and mobility
✅ Building confidence
✅ Challenging yourself mentally
✅ Training with people who support your progress
For £150, you receive 12 professionally coached sessions, a structured beginner curriculum and personal support throughout the programme.
That works out at just £12.50 per session.
A gym membership gives you somewhere to train.
The Foundations Programme gives you a reason to keep coming back.
Starts Wednesday 2 September 2026
Limited to 12 complete beginners aged 16+.

Where does your journey go after the Foundations Programme?
One of the questions we're asked most is:
"What happens after the 12 weeks?"
The answer is simple...
The Foundations Programme isn't the finish line.
It's the starting point.
Over 12 weeks you'll build the skills, confidence and understanding needed to move into our regular Havoc Grappling classes.
By the end of the programme you'll have learned:
✅ The core positions and movements of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
✅ How to escape and control safely
✅ Practical self-defence skills
✅ How to train with confidence alongside others
Most importantly, you'll no longer feel like a beginner.
You'll already know the coaches, the training environment and the people you'll be continuing your journey with.
There are no awkward first sessions.
No feeling like you've been left behind.
Just the next step in your development.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn't something you learn in 12 weeks.
But 12 weeks is all it takes to build a strong foundation for everything that comes next.
The Foundations Programme starts on Wednesday 2nd September 2026.
If you've been thinking about starting, this is the perfect place to begin.

What are you actually getting for £150?
The Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme is not simply 12 visits to a gym.
It is a complete, structured introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, created specifically for people who have never trained before.

Programme starts Wednesday 2 September 2026.
Limited to 12 complete beginners aged 16+.

Meet Your Coach
If you've been following our Foundations Programme posts, I thought it was about time I introduced myself.
I'm Sensei Ben Babbington, founder of ZKS Martial Arts and Havoc Grappling.
For over 20 years I've had the privilege of helping thousands of children, teenagers and adults discover what they're capable of through martial arts.
One thing I've learnt is that the hardest lesson isn't the first technique...
It's walking through the door for the very first time.
That's exactly why I created the Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme.
I didn't want complete beginners joining an established class and feeling like they had to keep up.
I wanted a programme where everyone starts together, learns together and grows in confidence together.
Whether you're looking to improve your fitness, learn practical self-defence, challenge yourself or simply try something you've always wanted to do, my promise is simple...
I'll meet you where you are.
You don't need to be fit.
You don't need any experience.
You don't need to prove anything.
You just need to make the decision to begin.
The rest is what I'm here for.
I'd love to welcome you onto the mats this September.
Bookings are now open.

I hope to meet you soon.

Why have we limited the Foundations Programme to just 12 beginners?
It's simple.
Because we believe beginners deserve more than being another face in a crowded class.
By keeping the group small, we can spend more time with every student, provide more individual coaching and make sure no one gets left behind.
That means you'll benefit from:
✅ More one-to-one coaching
✅ More opportunities to ask questions
✅ More personalised feedback
✅ More confidence from day one
✅ Stronger friendships within the group
Everyone begins together.
Everyone progresses together.
Everyone receives the support they need.
Could we fit more than 12 people on the mats?
Absolutely.
But that isn't the experience we want to create.
The Havoc Grappling Foundations Programme has been designed to give complete beginners the very best possible introduction to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—not simply the biggest class we could fill.
If you've been thinking about starting, now is the perfect time.
Starts Wednesday 2nd September 2026
Only 12 places are available.
