About us

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is one of the world’s fastest-growing martial arts, made popular through the UFC and its growing number of celebrity participants. BJJ is a ground-based martial art that focuses on takedowns, control, pinning, positional dominance and submission holds.

Having been in operation since 2010, Progressive BJJ embraces the evolving nature of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Our name reflects our philosophy of continuous personal growth, development and self-improvement, both on and off the mats.

The academy is headed by Daniel Lawson, a 2nd Degree Black Belt with over 20 years of training and jiu jistu experience.

We offer classes to suit all ages and genders and encourage anyone who has thought about trying BJJ to come down and experience an introductory class. Our training approach allows techniques to be applied across self-defence, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition and mixed martial arts.

We pride ourselves on creating a friendly and supportive team environment that challenges and encourages everyone to improve. Whether your goal is weight loss, improved fitness, learning practical self-defence skills or competition training, Our team have the passion and experience to help you achieve your goals.

Come down, give it a try and see what Progressive BJJ is all about.

See you on the mats.
