Why No-Gi BJJ is the perfect solution for grappling and MMA fans in Kent.
If you are looking for wrestling classes in Orpington, you have probably hit a brick wall. Pure adult wrestling clubs are incredibly rare in the UK. Most people end up driving for hours or settling for a generic fitness class. There is a much better option right here in Kent.
The Search for Submission Wrestling
The UK has a massive boxing culture. Finding a good striking gym is easy. Finding a place to learn catch wrestling or freestyle wrestling is a completely different story. Unless you are at a university with a dedicated team, your options are severely limited.
This leaves MMA fans and young competitors frustrated. You want to learn how to dictate where a fight takes place. You want to learn takedowns, heavy top control, and submissions.
Enter No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu
This is exactly where No-Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu steps in. At Checkmat Orpington, we train without the traditional kimono several times a week. This style of grappling strips away the grips of the fabric. It forces you to rely on underhooks, collar ties, and wrestling fundamentals.
We drill single legs. We drill double legs. We focus heavily on the clinch and cage-style wall wrestling. It is the closest thing you will find to a dedicated submission wrestling club in the local area.
