Brazilian jiu jitsu

Whether you're looking to get fitter, learn practical self-defence, challenge yourself or become part of a supportive community, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) has something to offer everyone.

Blue Wave Martial Arts has been teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Suffolk since 2004, making us one of the county's longest-established BJJ academies. We pride ourselves on providing a safe, welcoming and professional environment where adults and children of all ages and abilities can learn, grow and enjoy training.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling martial art built around technique, timing and leverage rather than size or strength. It allows smaller people to overcome larger opponents through skill, making it one of the most technical and rewarding martial arts in the world. We offer both Gi (traditional uniform) and No-Gi classes throughout the week.

You don't need to be fit or have any previous martial arts experience to get started. Every black belt was once a beginner, and our coaching team will guide you through every step of your journey at a pace that suits you.

Some of our members train for competition, others enjoy the challenge of learning new skills, improving their fitness, building confidence or simply spending time with great people. Whatever your reason for walking through our doors, you'll find a friendly team ready to help you succeed.

Our regular classes are beginner-friendly, and we also run dedicated Beginner Courses throughout the year to help new students build confidence before joining the main timetable. Get in touch to find out when the next course starts or book a taster session today.
