ADULT BJJ CLASSES

Both a martial art and combat sport, BJJ is our primary passion and specialty here at Low Tide Studio. We firmly believe that BJJ is for everyone, so we pride ourselves on our fun, friendly and inclusive approach to delivering our classes. We teach both Gi and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, from their fundamental and core movements to their ever-growing array of complex techniques and submissions. Led by second degree black belt and gym owner, Si Tutton, Low Tide BJJ has quickly become one of Edinburgh's leading martial arts and fitness studios.

SPORTS & SELF-DEFENCE FOCUSED

ALL CLASSES CONDUCTED IN THE GI

INCLUDES OPTIONAL RESTRICTED SPARRING

This programme delivers our essential BJJ curriculum. It consists of 20 beginner-friendly classes that cover the most important positions, principles, and submissions in both sports and self-defence BJJ.

All beginners must attend these classes to earn their first stripe before the option of moving on to Total BJJ which includes full sparring.

TOTAL BJJ

After attaining your first stripe at white belt, you are free to attend mixed level Total BJJ classes. Total BJJ represents the full game of BJJ, including the option of participating in full sparring (otherwise known as 'rolling'). As you gain more stripes and experience, you will gain access to the more advanced classes. However, this does not mean you have to stop attending Core BJJ. Having a strong core is important and we recommend all practitioners keep refreshing their fundamentals.

We also welcome new members to attend these classes who have the equivalent and appropriate level of experience earned elsewhere. This will be decided at our discretion.
