Itaipava Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and MMA

I will be available Mon - Fri between 10am and 1pm for private lessons in MMA, BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU and NO GI GRAPPLING. Slots available.

£30 per hour.

For clarification on what I do just to save time asking questions....

I'm not a pad man, i do skills training. I am unable to hold pads anymore due to a serious shoulder and back injury. However that does not mean you wont get quality training, i just focus on different things. If you are an absolute beginner i suggest trying classes before private lessons, as you will benefit way more, all of our classes are beginner friendly. That does not mean i wont coach you but priority for me is to aid those already training, I will try to help beginners anyway i can but it starts with trying a class.

I don't do fitness classes, there are times I will do conditioning sessions for my students but I have no interest in that style of coaching. We have other PTs in the gym who can help you with that.

What I do do..
Build skill
Develop techniques
Problem solve issues in training
Drills
Live scenarios
Fight gameplan

Huge congratulations to our great friend and former team captain Hassan El-Wardany on earning his Brown belt today from the esteemed Pedro Bessa.
Family and work life meant that Hassan had to move away from Newcastle, but he’s always a revered team member and friend to us all.
Well done Assassin!
