We look to build physical health, a positive, healthy mindset and the ability to defend yourself through the art of Brazilian jiu jitsu.
Sarnia Jiu Jitsu - the home of jiu jitsu in Guernsey. We aim to stay true to co-founder, Helio Gracie's principles and keep jiu jitsu as an art for all: women, men, young and old. Our emphasis is on learning, an enjoyable training environment and safety.
It can be hard to know where to focus during jiu jitsu’s journey. There’s a time for exploring unknown lands but often focusing on your most common problems is a good idea. Not only are these things we clearly struggle with but they occur to us often. And so if we can make an improvement we will also reap a very tangible benefit.

Working with partners, having fun.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Perhaps the most important thing is to start! Or you’ll be looking at people in a year or two and thinking: that could have been me.

I normally move faster than this when I spar 😂 but I very rarely spike with moments of fast movement at maximum effort. Stay smooth.
Community. So many friendly people who want you to succeed and will help you every step of the way.

Jiu jitsu may be a solo endeavour but our experience is hugely dependent upon those we train with. From a teacher who can explain things and help you understand to training partners who keep you safe but offer challenge and explore to friends who want the best for you; the people you surround yourself with will make a huge difference to your journey.
Maybe you are trying jiu jitsu for the first time. Maybe you did a few lessons years ago. Some immediately ‘get’ why they should be doing jiu jitsu but most of us need a few more to understand what it is.

Making your practice a little more thoughtful can make a big difference.
Who is your favourite training partner and why? Should you try to be more like them?
