Where effort becomes progress

At MethodBJJ, we make Brazilian Jiu Jitsu accessible for kids, beginners, and families.

Our classes help children channel energy, focus their minds, and find confidence through movement and problem-solving.

Every session nurtures that quiet pride born from hard work turning into progress.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is known as “the gentle art” or “human chess”. It’s a modern form of self-defence based on technique, strategy and control, not size or strength.

Through training, students develop emotional regulation, problem-solving skills and social connection—qualities that last a lifetime.

The method that makes all the difference

Empathy, structure and community: the foundation for confidence that grow with our students—on and off the mats.

  • Niall, our head coach, takes a patient coaching approach that meets each student where they are.

    From the shy to the perfectionist — Niall helps every student feel seen, supported, and safe to learn.

  • Classes follow a consistent routine that provides students with stability, a sense of progress, and confidence that grows week on week, just from showing up.

  • Our students build real friendships, celebrate milestones together, and learn respect and teamwork that can be carried forward in everything they do.

Our values

Respect. Growth. Confidence. Belonging.

We teach more than martial arts. We teach how to focus, handle emotions and build self-belief.

Our students learn to show up, try again, and take pride in every failure and progress stripe they earn.
