I’m so grateful to have started my jiu jitsu journey at the Koba women’s class. Starting at the women’s class made the introduction to jiu jitsu a whole lot less intimidating, and a whole lot of fun!

I went there to learn BJJ not realising how many other benefits would come along side that. I’ve never been in a gym environment that feels as welcoming as Koba does. You know that everyone in there is rooting for you and you are there to all learn together.

You won’t ever regret showing up to a session that’s for sure.

I started Brazilian jiu-jitsu at 57 looking for self-defense, never thinking I’d love training a martial art this much.

The feeling after sparring sessions is incredible! Koba is genuinely friendly and welcoming. Dan and the instructors are patient with great humor, which really helps with learning. BJJ is a combat sport, but I have such a laugh at training and sparring.

- Dan W
I previously wrestled at a national level and later started training no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I tried a few clubs but didn’t really connect with the coaching. Since joining Koba, that’s changed completely.

Dan has been great at helping me adapt my wrestling effectively to BJJ, and there’s a strong group of high-level training partners. It’s a very good place to train, with consistent input from the coaches in every class.

What makes fundamentals classes different from all levels classes?

Fundamentals classes focus on building a strong foundation in BJJ basics - essential positions, escapes, and core techniques that every practitioner needs.

The pace is more instructional with detailed breakdowns. All levels classes include these fundamentals but move faster and include live sparring (rolling) where you practice techniques at full resistance.

Fundamentals is perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to sharpen their basics.
Will there be sparring in fundamentals classes?

Fundamentals classes focus primarily on learning and drilling techniques in a controlled way.

There may be light positional sparring or specific training to practice what you’ve learned, but not the free-form rolling you’ll find in all levels classes.

This lets beginners build confidence and learn proper technique before adding full resistance. There is often the option to stay after class and spar, but it’s not required.
