Our students find they develop more confidence, better fitness and the knowledge of how to defend themselves if necessary.
For those students who like to compete, there are also lots of opportunities to take part in competitions locally and all over the country.

We teach Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) – a non-striking martial art that is perfect for self-defence. From beginner to professional, our classes are relaxed and enjoyable, with a focus on learning practical skills.
Our Head Coach, Zak Reed, a black belt in BJJ, has studied and taught Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over ten years.

Our matted studio, located in the centre of Exeter, offers the perfect place to learn, and we run classes throughout the week for all ages and abilities.
We are the only Carlson Gracie Team in the South West, under the guidance of Ben Hall who is a 3rd dan (degree) black belt and head instructor of the Carlson Gracie BJJ Australia team.
Proud to be the only Carlson Gracie Ben Hall team in the South West of England.
