I started training martial arts from a young age, initially with kickboxing and then Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while at university.
Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most challenging things I have ever undertaken, while also being the most rewarding - having positive effects on both physical and mental wellbeing.
My love for the martial art has grown stronger as my understanding has deepened. I particularly like the balance of theory and practice which goes towards training; it is a never-ending puzzle with many details.
Noticing the subtleties in Jiu-Jitsu can be a game changer and allow you to, as Rickson Gracie said, “flow with the go”
Liam Stewart
Instructor
Black Belt
Music, basketball and BMX had been my life predominantly up until I suffered an injury in 2014 requiring surgery. I started training BJJ in 2015 as a means of rehabilitation and I immediately enjoyed the problem solving nature of the sport. It kept my mind engaged while my body and conditioning caught up, proving you don’t need to get fit to start Jiu Jitsu.
Alongside my training I have experience delivering extra curricular music programmes and sports coaching in special educational needs schools. When I’m not on the mats, you’ll probably find me either playing drums or cooking. I’m also a part of AESTHETIC jiu jitsu, designing kimonos and running the UK athlete team.
