GI BJJ classes

BJJ in Dorking, Surrey

Gi Jiu-jitsu classes

These are classes undertaken wearing the gi. Grips and techniques such as chokes or sweeps can utilise the uniform we wear. Gi jiu-jitsu is often described as more technical, however it is more that the nature of the gi and the grips give you more options and also can slow the pace of the match. Grading, that is awarding of belts, is done in the gi, so you will wear different coloured belts depending on your grade.

I really love going to Koba because I get to learn so many cool moves and techniques. The instructors are super nice and always make me feel like I can do anything, plus I’ve made some awesome new friends. I can’t wait to go back every week!”

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.
