Structured learning
Our learning approach is structured for your enjoyment and success in learning the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Each program at our school follows a set curriculum, so students will be aware of what they learn each class. Every student is given an attendance card to see the progress they have made, and the classes to attend in order to reach the next level.
Safe training environment
At Jiu-Jitsu Lawson, we prioritise your safety. Our classes are structured to meet the needs of every student, giving beginners a chance to learn in a cooperative environment. We value and encourage a culture of mutual collaboration and benefit. You will have the opportunity to work together with peers of every skill level to improve at beginner techniques before sparring in a safe and positive environment in the advanced program. We go to great lengths to ensure all our students feel safe and comfortable in our classes, and will work within your boundaries to improve your confidence inside and outside the training centre.
Street readiness
Since Grand Masters Carlos and Hélio Gracie founded Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the art’s purpose has been its effectiveness in real fights. At Jiu-Jitsu Lawson, self-defence remains our top priority in every program. Every technique you learn is selected based on its proven effectiveness in real combat. We believe that through attending our classes, students will be empowered with necessary skills to keep themselves safe.

Through our work, we have seen that confident kids make kinder kids. We teach children how to not only stand up to bullies for themselves, but how to stand up for others. Our Rules of Engagement teach children to avoid the fight if at all possible by first using their words, and then telling an adult.
When they do need to resort to physical self-defense, we do not teach children punches or kicks in the Gracie Bullyproof program, but rather, empowered by Brazilian Jiu-JItsu, to neutralize, defend, control, and negotiate if possible. Kids martial arts classes for a better, kinder world.

We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! Even better… you can join in our martial arts classes for adults, and have yet another thing in common with your little one. We love seeing the bond of families who train together!

There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes! One of the benefits of BJJ is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by doing our Lawson BJJ classes. Isn’t that the point though? A fun workout that gets results!

Many parents ask, what’s the difference between Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Karate classes? While we believe all martial-arts have value, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has not only been proven to be the most effective martial art for a smaller person to defend themselves in a real fight for nearly a century, it also can be the most gentile.
We don’t want our kids or students turning into bullies themselves, and we also believe self-defense should be scalable, depending on the situation. Whereas kids Karate lessons or Taekwondo classes rely solely on landing punches and kicks, jiu-jitsu for kids focuses on neutralizing a threat with verbal boundaries, distance management, body control, and eventual negotiation.

Upon arriving for your first jiu-jitsu class, we will provide a uniform, called a gi, for you to wear. We recommend wearing comfortable undergarments or leggings, and a t-shirt or rashguard that you can wear under your gi. We will also have training attire available for purchase after your class.
Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes, as you will be working up a sweat!

Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes felt the exact same way. There is absolutely no experience necessary for any of our beginner classes, and there is no sparring amongst beginners, so you’re going to be safe and have a great time!

Our certified martial arts instructors are trained to keep their teaching simple, effective, and beginner-focused. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop ‘ninja-like’ skills!
