About Putney BJJ

At Putney BJJ, everything starts with a clear purpose: creating a safe, professional and welcoming environment where anyone can train with confidence.

As co-founder and black belt, Tim Grant explains, our focus is on delivering authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the highest level, while maintaining a friendly, inclusive atmosphere that makes beginners feel comfortable from day one.

We believe Jiu-Jitsu should challenge you, support you, and help you grow, whether your goal is fitness, self-defence, competition, or simply trying something new. Our role is to guide you every step of the way and help you realise your full potential on the mats.

A new type of BJJ School

Putney BJJ was founded in 2020 with the intention of creating a small, focused space to train, coach, and improve Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes, from novice to advanced.

Together with the existing competition team, Paul & Tim created a top-rated BJJ academy in Putney, South West London.

We offer world-class training in small groups and capped membership. Our experienced coaching team focuses on the individuals, either for personal improvement or competition readiness.

We’re all working as a team to help each other.

Personalised approach

With a small class focus and limited membership numbers, we follow a weekly structure in which each student is assigned a personal plan as part of the curriculum, taking into account their stage of learning, physiology, and goals.

This means that every member of Putney BJJ has a personalised training plan and support from our staff throughout their individually tailored Jiu-Jitsu journey.

This approach provides a more enjoyable and fulfilling experience as our students feel supported and empowered to achieve their unique goals with the guidance of our dedicated coaching team.

Style that fits you

Professor Paul and the team teach classic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, effective techniques that work for people of all sizes, and with real-life considerations.

A wide range of classes is available, from beginners through to competition and advanced. Each class, though, have a focus on improvement, detail and study.

There are numerous “open mat” sessions where members work on details, practise new techniques and put them together in live sparring.

It’s relaxed but professional, always looking for the next piece of the puzzle.
