Yama Jiu Jitsu

Yama Jiu Jitsu is North Devon's leading Jiu Jitsu academy, offering world-class Jiu Jitsu instruction in a welcoming environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Yama Jiu Jitsu is the perfect place for you to learn and grow in your Jiu Jitsu journey.

The academy offers a variety of classes throughout the week, catering to different skill levels and preferences. The timetable includes Jiu Jitsu fundamentals classes, open drilling sessions, and open mat sessions. The fundamentals class is ideal for beginners as it provides a solid foundation in Jiu Jitsu. The class starts with a warm-up and introduces key movements, techniques, and positions.

Safety is a top priority, ensuring that all members feel safe and comfortable during training.

Experienced practitioners are also welcome in the fundamentals class to assist newer members and deepen their understanding of key Jiu Jitsu positions. Whether you choose to wear a Gi or prefer no Gi clothing or gym clothes, Yama Jiu Jitsu accommodates your preference. Techniques are taught with options for both Gi and No Gi grip.

In a regular Jiu Jitsu class, a relevant warm-up involving positional Jiu Jitsu-related movements is followed. The class then focuses on a particular theme for about a month, covering the most up-to-date and relevant Jiu Jitsu techniques. The growth mindset is emphasised, welcoming both old school and new school techniques. The class also includes “pressure testing” the learned positions or techniques against resisting opponents and finishes with sparring rounds.

For those looking for extra training sessions or to work on specific aspects of their game, the open mat sessions are perfect. The sessions provide an opportunity to get additional rounds of sparring and individual training. Yama Jiu Jitsu, being a dedicated Jiu Jitsu facility, allows ample time for quality training without the need to make way for the next class.

Yama Jiu Jitsu offers simple and flexible membership options. The adult membership provides unlimited access to all classes at 70 per month. There is also a ten-class pass option that expires after one year, priced at 90. For those desiring personalised instruction, private classes are available at 40 per hour.
