About the Business

Pure Art BJJ provides Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in Portsmouth for complete beginners, experienced practitioners and competitors. Our goal is to teach BJJ in a friendly, welcoming and supportive environment where students can develop their skills safely and enjoy their training.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based martial art that uses technique, leverage, positional control and submissions. Rather than relying primarily on size or strength, students learn how to control resisting opponents using efficient movement and technique. This makes BJJ suitable for people of different sizes, abilities and levels of experience.

Our Portsmouth BJJ classes cover Gi and No Gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, takedowns, positional control, escapes, sweeps, guard passing and submissions. We also teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defence and provide training for students interested in BJJ competition.

Beginners are always welcome at Pure Art BJJ. Our dedicated beginners classes introduce the fundamental positions, movements and techniques of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through structured instruction and drilling. Students can develop at their own pace with individual attention and support from experienced instructors and training partners.

BJJ has also played an important role in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), where its grappling, positional control and submission techniques have been extensively used in competition. Regular live resistance training allows students to practise their techniques against partners who are actively trying to defend and counter them.

Pure Art BJJ is based at Fort Purbrook Activity Centre, Peter Ashley Lane, Portsdown Hill Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire, PO6 1BJ. We run Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes throughout the week in a positive and supportive training environment.

Whether you want to learn BJJ for self-defence, fitness, confidence, competition or simply because you want to learn a highly technical martial art, you're welcome to come and train with us.

Your first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class is completely FREE to try. Contact Pure Art BJJ today and start your BJJ journey.

Private Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Lessons in Portsmouth & Waterlooville

Pure Art BJJ offers 1-to-1 private BJJ lessons for complete beginners through to experienced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioners. Private tuition gives you dedicated individual instruction, with lessons tailored specifically to your experience, goals and the areas you want to improve.

Individual BJJ Coaching

Private lessons allow us to concentrate entirely on your development. We can identify technical strengths and weaknesses, answer questions in detail and spend additional time working on the areas of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that will benefit you most.

Lessons Tailored to You

Training can be adapted to your individual goals, whether you want to build strong BJJ fundamentals, improve particular positions or techniques, develop your Gi or No Gi game, prepare for competition or learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for self-defence.

Technical Detail & Understanding

Our teaching focuses on understanding the concepts, mechanics and technical details that make techniques work rather than simply memorising movements. This helps students develop a deeper understanding of BJJ and apply what they learn against different reactions and resistance.

Suitable for Beginners

You don't need any previous martial arts or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experience to book a private lesson. One-to-one tuition can be an excellent way for a complete beginner to learn the fundamental positions and techniques at their own pace before or alongside joining group classes.

Combine Private & Group Training

Private lessons can also complement regular group BJJ classes. Individual tuition allows you to focus closely on specific areas, while group training provides experience applying those skills with a wide range of training partners.

Dedicated Private Training Room

Private BJJ lessons take place in my own dedicated private training room in the Waterlooville area, providing a focused environment specifically suited to one-to-one Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tuition. The private setting allows the lesson to concentrate entirely on your individual training, technical development and goals.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Group Classes

Our BJJ group classes in Portsmouth provide the opportunity to learn and practise Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with a wide range of training partners of different sizes, body types and experience levels. Training with different partners is an important part of developing effective technique, timing and adaptability.

Group classes also provide a friendly and social environment in which students learn alongside one another, share knowledge and develop their understanding of BJJ. They are suitable for complete beginners through to experienced practitioners and can also be combined with private BJJ lessons for students who want additional individual tuition.

Training Environment

Classes take place at Fort Purbrook Activity Centre in a large gymnasium with a sprung floor and a spacious training area covered with 40mm professional martial arts mats.

Technical Instruction

Lessons have a strong technical focus, with particular attention given to the details, concepts and principles that make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques work effectively. Rather than simply demonstrating movements to copy, we explain why techniques work and how they can be adapted against different reactions and resistance.

Structured BJJ Curriculum

Classes follow a structured curriculum covering important and effective Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals. Students develop their skills progressively through technical instruction, drilling and live resistance training.

Friendly & Supportive Teaching

Our teaching approach is friendly, patient and based on positive feedback. Questions are always encouraged, and students receive individual attention to help them understand techniques, correct mistakes and make consistent progress.

Whether you are completely new to martial arts or already have BJJ experience, our group classes provide a positive, enjoyable and technical environment in which to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Portsmouth.
