About
More than kicking and slamming
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art built around ground fighting, positional control and submissions. It grew out of traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu into a style of its own, one where precise technique and leverage beat raw strength.
Beyond self-defence, it builds fitness, mental discipline and personal growth for people of every age and level.
Why Antwerp Jiu-Jitsu
Physical×
Simple×
Difficult
The fundamentals are easy to pick up; mastery takes years of dedication. The beauty is in how practical it is: leverage, timing and strategy over brute force.
Safety×
Freedom
Safety comes first. We train in a way that keeps injuries rare, inside a framework loose enough for everyone to find their own game.
Ageless camaraderie, boundless growth
Six or sixty: everyone starts somewhere, and everyone keeps learning.
Build confidence, get fit and make friends for life on the mats. For kids it is a playground; for adults, a fountain of youth.

Gi & No-Gi
Two styles, one schedule
You train both here. Gi is with the kimono: slower and more technical. No-gi is without it: faster and closer to wrestling. We alternate them, so you get some of each every week.
- Beginners always train no-gi, so you don't need a kimono for your first classes.
- Kids and teens have a fixed schedule: no-gi on Tuesday, gi on Wednesday and Thursday.
Free trial? Pick a no-gi class and all you need is sports clothes. Only buy a kimono once you stay.
