Exeter BJJ Academy is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in Marsh Barton, Exeter, which says it was established in 2004 and counts among the longer-running jiu jitsu schools in the UK. Its black belt coaching team traces its lineage through Raphael Dos Santos back to the Gracie family. The academy teaches gi and no-gi grappling alongside a smaller wrestling class, with Foundations classes for complete beginners up to blue belt, a women's class, and graded groups for children and teens. Open mats give regular members extra rolling time. Instructors are DBS checked and trained in safeguarding and first aid. Class sizes are capped, so places are booked in advance through the online system.
