We welcome everyone to train recreationally but also have lots of opportunities to compete if you would like.
We regularly attend Brazilian JiuJitsu competitions and have students of all ages competing around the country.
Team RJJA do notoriously well at these events.

2021 FINAL REVIEW:
Team RJJA’s first medal of 2021 was a Bronze secured by Alan Scott early August when competitions were allowed to resume. A couple of weeks later, he received his blue belt and went on to take Silver at the end of August in Brighton alongside his team mates.
From then until the final comp of 2021 – with Aaron Rogers taking a Silver at The NoGi British Open on 18th December – Rogers JiuJitsu Academy managed this incredible haul of achievements:
16Â Â 15Â Â 14Â
Alongside 1 Kickboxing win, 1 Boxing win and 1 Boxing draw.
We also earned the following team rankings:
 Juniors at The JiuJitsu Derby Adults/Masters at The JiuJitsu Derby Best Academy at The JiuJitsu Derby Best Academy at Nova Grappling
Not too shabby seeing as we were only allowed to resume full contact training in July! Very proud of everyone! #TEAMRJJAÂ
