About Five Rings Grappling Academy.

We teach Jiu Jitsu, No Gi Submission Wrestling and MMA, allowing you to train in different styles of grappling. Our lineage traces back to Gracie Barra in Rio through Mauricio Gomes. Mauricio was the son in law of Carlos Gracie, the founder of the art and is the father of 10x World Champion, Roger Gracie. Because there is no striking, you can train to a higher intensity and limit the risk of injury.

How do students grade?

Five Rings Grappling Academy students grade under IBJJF guidelines and our own patch system in the Champions programme. Junior students are rewarded for showing improved ability in Judo, Wrestling, Self Defence, Competition techniques and building a Growth Mindset. We breed a healthy mental attitude, self discipline and confidence. Our Lifeskills programme is the best.

Why Five Rings Grappling Academy?

We took the approach from “The Book of Five Rings” and use it daily. Our logo is represented by the colours of the five adult belts. Each ring is open to highlight the fact that our learning should never end. The nature of the Grappling Arts (especially BJJ) are such that they can never be completed so can always be developed and understood further.
