Gentle Arts Academy

Hello there 👋 there’s a lot of new followers here so we wanted to come back and introduce ourselves!

We are the family founders behind the community Gentle Arts Academy. We’ve recently had a new addition t the tribe so if your emails or call back responses have been delayed this is why!

We are a small organically run family friendly Dojo where martial arts is more then just a sport. To us and our coaches it’s a way of life, it’s a way of overcoming the adversities of life and showing up better day after day.

Professor Dangelo is a 4th degree Blackbelt in Brazilian Jiujitsu with a professional career in MMA, Wrestling and Luta-Livre (No Gi).

Coach Dani is a Hatha Yoga Teacher and Functional & Therapeutic Breath Coach with decades of meditation experience.

We are so passionate about creating a safe space for people from all walks of life to come together as equals. To be seen. To be heard. And to be valued.

We welcome you to check out our timetable and newest classes. We offer sessions for toddlers through to adults.

If you want to know more reach out and let’s have a chat!

At Gentle Arts Academy we teach more than techniques.
We teach preparation. 🥋✨

The art of being ready is not built in one moment.
It’s built in the small daily choices:
Showing up when you’re tired.
Staying calm under pressure.
Learning to breathe through discomfort.
Respecting the process even when progress feels slow.

On the mats, readiness means discipline, awareness, and resilience.
Off the mats, it becomes confidence for life.

Ready to face challenges.
Ready to protect your peace.
Ready to grow into the best version of yourself.

Because life doesn’t wait for us to feel prepared…
but training teaches us how to be. 🔥

To an untrained eye, it may look like children are just playing…

But inside every game is a lesson 🥋✨

At Gentle Arts Academy, we use play-based learning to teach Jiu-Jitsu in a way that matches how children naturally grow.

Through movement, laughter, and guided challenges, kids develop:
• Confidence
• Coordination
• Emotional resilience
• Real Jiu-Jitsu foundations

Because when children enjoy the process, they don’t just learn better…
they fall in love with learning for life.

🧡 More than just a dojo — it’s an academy for life.
