TIME TO GET THE KIDS BACK INTO A ROUTINE!

Summer holidays are nearly over — and now’s the perfect time to get them back into something positive.

Jiu Jitsu gives kids a routine, keeps them active and helps build confidence, fitness, discipline and new friendships.

No experience needed. We have classes for complete beginners right through to experienced competitors.

Messages like this mean a lot ❤️

Grand & Vanessa are sadly leaving HJJA as their family are relocating.

We’re obviously gutted to see them go, but receiving an email like this from a parent reminds us what coaching kids is really about.

Yes, we teach Jiu Jitsu — but hopefully along the way we’re helping kids grow in confidence, resilience and character, while giving them somewhere they genuinely enjoy being.

Thank you Karen for the lovely words and for trusting us with Grand & Vanessa.

They’ll always be part of the HJJA family and we wish them nothing but the best with their move and whatever comes next 🥋❤️

This is why we do what we do

The mount position.

One of the most important positions in grappling — and one every kid should understand.

It teaches control, balance, pressure, patience and how to stay calm when someone is trying to escape.

But the benefits go way beyond learning positions.

Confidence. Fitness. Discipline. Problem solving. Resilience.

Get your kids into grappling. 🤼‍♂️

Give them skills they’ll carry for life.

JIU JITSU USED FOR REAL 💪

This nurse at Queen’s Hospital was attacked while simply doing his job and used his jiu jitsu training to protect himself and control the situation.

Thankfully he was able to defend himself without things escalating even further.

We’d love to offer him a completely FREE month of training at Havering Jiu Jitsu Academy as a little show of support from the local BJJ community.

If anyone knows him, please tag him or send this to him so we can get in touch.

Huge respect mate 👊🥋

Most people think they need to get fit before they start Jiu Jitsu.

It’s the other way round.

You don’t need to lose weight first.
You don’t need to know anything.
You don’t need to be confident.

You just need to turn up.

We’ve had people start in their teens, their 40s, their 50s and beyond. Everyone felt nervous walking through the door for the first time.

A few months later they’re fitter, stronger, making friends and wondering why they didn’t start years ago.

If you’ve been thinking about giving it a go, this is your sign.

Come and try a class. We’ll look after the rest.

People often think they join Jiu Jitsu to learn how to fight.

The truth is, most people join because they want to change their life.

Dom Erk walked through our doors weighing 120kg.

Seven years later, he weighs 85kg.

That’s 35kg lost through consistent training, healthier habits and never giving up.

He didn’t just lose weight. He became fitter, stronger, healthier and more confident.

Jiu Jitsu isn’t about finding a quick fix.

It’s about finding something you love doing, and letting the results take care of themselves.

Your transformation starts with one class.
