The Kodokan Unit 1A Woolwich Church Street, London SE18 5NS

"I signed up as someone with no experience in any martial art, and am thrilled at the education I’m getting from such a friendly and welcoming team. Jared is clearly really knowledgeable and has been practicing virtually all of his life. There’s a great mix of all abilities and belt levels at the club and the atmosphere is always overwhelmingly positive. I would definitely recommend signing up to anyone looking to improve their fitness, self-discipline and general well-being!"

"I simply cannot recommend the Kodokan Academy of Brazilian jiu jitsu enough. Put simply this place is fantastic for beginners and veterans alike. This is the place to go if you are looking for the highest levels of bjj instruction around and you can even customise your training schedule with mornings, afternoons and evening sessions available. Ive been a member for a while now and I’ve honestly made some friends who are not only true savages on the mats but do their best to learn together and help one another. This place is where a hobby will become an addiction which will then become your superpower. If you are looking for a place for your children to learn a discipline then I speak from experience. My 6 year old daughter has the bug also and loves this club just as much as everyone else. Come and join the family! Oss"

"I've visited a few BJJ gyms and this one by far has the best atmosphere, everyone is super friendly and willing to help you out."

"Amazing club, my son who has been training martial arts before never experienced nothing like it!!! Jared is a great teacher and he taught him some life skills in fighting, he is very knowledgeable in applying jiu jitsu to his students. My son learned a lot about human anatomy. Club has such strong sense of unity and works on positive self esteem.Jared's side kick- friendly Alexia is very good in communicating everything we need. Club has a very spiritual feel about it."
