At Terrier BJJ we believe in fundamental techniques; the basics done correctly. We do not get bogged down with techniques and moves that look good but aren't effective. We stick to fundamentals that have been proven over time to work. Everything we teach has been pressure tested, your child won't be taught "secret, deadly" attacks that can't be practised because they are "too dangerous" to use.
We try not to stick to one form of Martial Arts, but rather pick the appropriate techniques for the audience and lesson. For Striking, techniques are taken from Boxing and Muay Thai; whilst for Grappling, techniques are taken from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and Catch Wrestling. These Martial Arts are widely regarded as the most effective and are utilised at the top tiers of Combat Sports.
We charge £8 per session. We don't have any hidden grading charges like most other gyms, the only cost involved with grading is the purchase of a new belt to show your child's progress.
All your child will need for their first lesson is appropriate clothing (PE shorts or trousers and a t-shirt), a water bottle, and a willingness to try something new.
Once your child has "got the bug" for training then it is recommended that you purchase a pair of BJJ Gi trousers and a gym t-shirt. Belts can be purchased from this site. A set of boxing gloves will also be required. Our coaches can offer plenty of advice as to brands and types of equipment.
Yes - The club grades in accordance with the IBJJF grading structure. Gradings will be held at regular intervals to ensure students are being acknowledged for their hard work and commitment. There is no need for your child to feel nervous about grading, our coaches will only grade them if they decide they are ready.
The belt system at Terrier BJJ reflects their commitment and dedication to training.
At Terrier BJJ you won’t see 5,6,7 or 12 year old Black Belts, you can only achieve the rank of Black Belt when you are 18 years old minimum.
All students (regardless of age) begin as a White Belt. Within the kids classes, the students will then progress on to attain their Grey and White Belt, then their Grey Belt, then finally their Grey and Black Belt. At this stage they will be old enough and experienced enough to move into the Junior programs offered by Dorchester Agoge.
With the exception of bank holidays and Christmas, yes. There may be an occasion when there won't be a class available due to coaches going on holiday etc., however this will be communicated in plenty of time.
Yes but children won't spar until they know a basic level of techniques. When they do spar it will be controlled contact sparring.
Controlled contact sparring is the most realistic safe way to train skills. In these drills you employ controlled punches, kicks and grappling techniques on a partner, who is attempting to land the same techniques on you. Controlled striking targets include body, leg and head. We believe that the ability to employ a technique without hurting your partner is the cornerstone of developing true martial art skills. Our coaches have years of experience and are able to de-escalate any "over-excited" sparring.
