It almost seems as if the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Yoga were designed to complement each other…
There are so many similarities and mirrored truths between these two arts. It’s not surprising that they both have shared roots which are entwined with Buddhism and ancient India. Besides having been proven to alleviate depression, high blood pressure and a host of other physical ailments, yoga will also help your martial arts in many ways.

The second best thing to figuring out how to apply this stuff against a resisting opponent, is to master it within yourself.
Our Yoga fo BJJ classes were born out of adversity. When you train in a contact sport, global pandemics put up a huge road-block to progress.
As students of the martial-arts, self-preservation was the priority - that meant no contact for over a year!
We are incredibly proud of our coaches Dawood and Sam who decided to look for opportunity within the constraints of Covid and took it upon themselves to become fully qualified instructors of Yoga for BJJ.
The Yoga for BJJ programme was created by Sebastian Brosche a high level grappling competitor who used yoga to help rehabilitate his body after years of punishing training.

Through their efforts, Dawood and Sam kept our community fit and mobile during the lockdowns.
Now that we are on the cusp of emerging from the pandemic, many of us recognise that the therapeutic and regenerative powers of regular yoga are habit forming and something we all want to continue long after we have forgotten the trials of 2020…
Our Yoga for BJJ sessions are run by our qualified Yoga for BJJ instructors Dawood and Sam to help you recover and retain your mobility from comfort of your own home. Fighting Arts Academy club members are invited to Join our Club WhatsApp Group where Zoom invites before each yoga session are circulated.
These classes are offered FREE of charge to all Fighting Arts Academy members and their families.
Join in the fun.
