The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Not managed on Matador yetJiu Jitsu
The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu club based on a business park in Market Drayton, Shropshire. It was founded and is led by head coach Mark Badham, a black belt who has competed at the IBJJF World Masters. The academy teaches both gi and no-gi to adults and offers children's groups from age 6, with the older kids' group introducing controlled sparring, belt progression and competition pathways. Beginners are well catered for, with a free taster session, a dedicated beginners class and a four-week beginners course that includes a gi to keep. Gis and belts can be borrowed. Early-morning open mats run by keyholders suit those who want extra mat time, and there is a reduced membership for armed forces personnel. Training at other gyms is welcomed.
