WHY BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU?
Simple: it is proven to work
The right tool for the right job! Would you want to use a spanner knowing that as soon as you turn it there is a chance it breaks? Probably not.
Even large highly trained boxers and MMA fighters break their hands when they punch, so how can smaller men, women and children expect not to in self defence situations?
Why are most champions in the UFC from grappling or wrestling disciplines? Because it works! If you can control someone’s ability to move, you take away their ability to harm you, your family or your friends.
FOR SCHOOL AGE KIDS THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS YOUR CHILD CAN LEARN TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE THE SERIOUS ACTION AND CONSEQUENCES OF PUNCHING OR KICKING ANOTHER SCHOOL STUDENT
Brazilian Jiu_Jitsu is the fastest growing Martial Art in the world. And for good reason!
Most Martial Arts are great for discipline, and build confidence and coordination. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is unique in that it does all this too, but also takes our natural love of wrestling and being physical with our friends and turns it into a game of mental and physical mastery. Putting our team mates in a position where they have to give up, only to extend a hand, help them up, and the fun starts all over again!
All of this in a safe, fun filled and professional environment…..
But don’t take our word for it!
Take a look at this video of two of our students. Ollie a year 10 in school and Sienna a year 11. Here they are training in the No- Gi (without the uniform). This is great for self-defence as the task is simple; DON’T GET TAKEN TO THE FLOOR AND HELD DOWN
Ollie is a dedicated BJJ student and club Rugby player, and is also a great training partner providing safe and appropriate resistance.
The question is DO YOU WANT YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER TO BE ABLE TO STAY STANDING OR GET BACK UP if they need to?
“I’m a Mum or Dad who doesn’t know much about Martial Arts, what are the important things I need to know before giving my child their first experience?”

Their first class is their most important! At Dream Art Rugby we have a world class custom built Academy with a sprung floor matted area. Structured age & ability specific classes for your child. We have kind and welcoming students and parents from all backgrounds to make you and your child feel welcome.
-
You can take a look at our Instructors page to see that our kids classes are taught by our Head Instructor who is not only an experienced Blackbelt in BJJ but also a qualified Physical Education teacher. Our youngest kids program is fully managed by our amazing Teen Coaches and is our fastest growing class for good reason!
All coaches are fully insured under UKBJJA, DBS safety checked and have all recently trained in sports specific First Aid.

This is the big one right?! Everything costs, but the big question is ‘what is the value?’ We will never claim to be the cheapest Martial Art around. Why would we be with everything you have read so far about our training environment?
What people want to know is ‘am I getting a good deal for myself or my child?’
YES! For kids we offer up 4 classes per week at very competitive prices. Paid monthly, no long term contracts to lock you in, but also no pay-as-you-go (our coaches invest to see our students get better!)
Adults get the highest quality BJJ instruction, in a world class academy, with the best team in the region for a very competitive rate!
Feel free to contact us to discuss our transparent pricing structure.

LITTLE TIGERS…..DRAGON WARRIORS….Martial Arts like any other business can love a good Franchise. Even BJJ can fall into this trap.
MARTIAL ARTS ARE LIKE FOOD, if it is a ‘proprietary blend’ then look out because you can’t trust what’s inside. We love all Martial Arts, Kung Fu, Kickboxing, Judo, Karate, Tai Kwon DO….. so if a club has a generic title ‘Angry Scorpions Martial Arts’ then what is it? What governing body or federation do they belong to? Do they have international level regulated competition for competitors?
This can seem a bit heavy for a parent or adult taking their first step into Martial Arts, but it is important and goes back to point number 3 above.
COST: If something markets itself as a Franchise it comes at a cost. PERIOD.
This cost is passed down to the newest person in the system. YOU.
We are not a franchise, we are a team! With only one other amazing school in the UK at DREAM ART BRADFORD and strong links to HQ in São Paulo Brazil.
We set our own prices (competitive), we set our own uniform costs (amazing quality, reasonable price), WE DON’T UPSELL, we don’t make you PAY FOR BELT PROMOTIONS….
We are transparent and fair from the first phone call to Blackbelt. Uniform, Monthly training fee and you’re ready to roll!
If you want more, then we have optional seminars from the greatest competitors in BJJ several times a year!
WE TREAT FAMILIES WITH RESPECT SO THEY HAVE A LIFETIME OF ENJOYMENT
