Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Class

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has its routes in the early 20th century. After years of studying traditional Japanese Martial Arts including Judo the Brazilian Gracie family began to develop a Martial Arts taking the most effective techniques of what they had previously learnt. BJJs emphasis is the ground fighting techniques and submission holds such as chokes and jointlocks.

BJJ came to prominence with is success and dominance in the early years of the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts.

At the KO we have both Gi and No Gi classes. Sparring and drilling play a major role in training.

When you move to the General Level you will be expected to have your full kit assembled. MMA requires gum shield, MMA gloves and MMA shin guards. Muay Thai requires gum shield, boxing gloves, MMA/Muay Thai shin guards, and elbow pads. Men should always wear a "box" (groin protector). BJJ Gi classes require a BJJ Gi/Kimono and belt.

There is a club shop where you can buy KO branded kit, and gloves from top manufacturers. Wearing KO branded kit gives the club an identity, infact at KO Muay Thai wearing KO branded gym wear is compulsary from the General Level.

Arches Boxing Gym

Arches Boxing Gym is part of the KO Gym group and specializes in White Collar, Amateur and Professional Boxing. It is based in Bethnal Green only a short walk from KO MMA. Please note gym passes are non-transferable.

A level based system

In MMA and Muay Thai there is traditionally no grading system. At KO gym we stream our students into three main levels which are Intro, General and Intermediate/Fighters. We do this because beginners need to learn the basics in a non-threatening environment, and students of a higher level are not held back by students requiring basic tuition.

Your coach will check on your progress and move you through the levels so you get the best from your training.

This system has produced numerous World Muay Thai champions.
