"Our whole family absolutely loves training at Armour BJJ. All three of my kids train here along with myself, and it’s become such a big part of our lives.
We’ve seen huge improvements in the kids’ confidence, discipline, and fitness since joining, and the adults classes are just as enjoyable and challenging.
Couldn’t recommend Armour BJJ highly enough to anyone thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Great people, great atmosphere, and a great place to train"

Why Choose Armour BJJ for Your Child?
Established in 2019, Armour BJJ is led by Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Jesse Hughes, who also has a background in physical education and sport science.
Our coaching approach combines technical Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction with age-appropriate teaching methods. We aim to provide a positive training environment where children can develop their abilities at their own pace, whether they're completely new to martial arts or interested in competing.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches children how to use positioning, leverage, balance and controlled grappling techniques rather than relying solely on strength. Training also provides opportunities to practise teamwork, perseverance, respect and self-control.
