Children’s jiujitsu 🥋

In addition to physical fitness and self-defense skills, children’s jiujitsu promotes mental resilience and problem-solving abilities. Through consistent practice, children learn how to stay calm under pressure, think strategically, and adapt to different situations. This can translate into improved academic performance and better coping mechanisms for dealing with challenges both on and off the mats.

Get ready to boost your jiujitsu game with Gemma’s mobility and stretch class!

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned grappler, this class will help you move better on the mats, recover faster, and feel great overall.

Join us every Saturday from 08:15 to 09:00, but hurry – spots fill up quick and are limited.

Introducing our new stretch & mobility class with Gemma.

Proper stretching not only aids in recovery but also enhances mobility by loosening tight muscles and joints, improving overall range of motion, and reducing the risk of stiffness.

Increased mobility can lead to better performance and decreased chances of injury during future training sessions.

Join Gemma every Saturday at 08:15.

Easter timetable 🐰

Last night, Judo coach Ian was proudly awarded his purple belt by . With an impressive 35 years of judo experience and a wealth of knowledge, Ian continues to excel in his martial arts journey at Thrive. Well done Ian! 💜

Our advanced class mirrors the structure and techniques of our fundamentals class, but with the addition of more intricate details and advanced movements. Students also actively engage in rolling sessions to test the techniques they’ve learnt against resisting team mates.

We recommend our advanced class for students who already have a solid understanding of basic techniques and movements and have previously participated in live rolling.

We have some absolutely fearless Thrive Jiujitsu team members who have volunteered to throw themselves off a perfectly good plane, all in the name of charity.

Charity is a pillar of our academy’s social values, we want to give back to our community and support life-changing services in our area.

The brave volunteers are:

Alex Rhodes, Mason Smith-Jones, Adam Smith, Henry Williams, Tom Larington & James Gill.

Start your weekend right with our open mat, every Saturday morning 09:00 - 10:30am.

Dedicated rolling sessions enable students to practice the techniques learnt in class against an opponent giving resistance feedback, on many different body types and experience levels.

Rolling is also great cardio conditioning and can help you shed some of that Christmas weight gain.

Open mat is Gi and No Gi and we welcome drop ins from all clubs and affiliations.

Welcome 2024! We have big plans for Thrive this year. We can’t wait to share the year with you all 🤗
