Not managed on Matador yetJudoJiu Jitsu
Shinbudo London Grappling Club is a not-for-profit community club based in a tenants' hall on a listed brutalist estate in South Hampstead, close to St John's Wood. Founded in 2014, it teaches Kodokan judo for children and adults alongside Brazilian jiu-jitsu in both gi and no-gi. It is affiliated to the British Judo Association, and members progress through the coloured-belt grading system. Training is tested against a resisting partner in an environment the club calls competitive yet cooperative. The club describes itself as socially mixed, multicultural, informal and open, and it is supported by the local tenants' and residents' association. Newcomers can simply turn up in loose clothing after getting in touch first.
