Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Wimbledon

Welcome to True Virtues Jiu Jitsu, Wimbledon's Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy built on expert instruction and the traditional values of Bushido. Whether you're in Wimbledon Village, South Wimbledon, or anywhere across SW19, we offer Gi classes, No Gi submission grappling, Women's self-defence, and Junior programmes for ages 8 to 15.

 

Our head coach, Mike Buckman-Cowling, is a 1st Degree Black Belt with 14 years of coaching experience. He has hosted world champions on our mats, including ADCC Champion Ffion Davies.

BJJ is about problem-solving under pressure, learning to stay calm when things get difficult, and picking up skills that stick with you. No experience needed. Absolute beginners are always welcome, and you don't need to be fit to start. Training here is how you get fit.
