Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Leverage over strength. Gi and No-Gi under a 3rd-degree black belt. Smooth, technical jiu-jitsu for beginners and experienced grapplers alike.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Phuket
Train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a focused, technical and supportive environment. Whether you are stepping onto the mats for the first time or you are an experienced grappler refining your game, our program builds real skill through intelligent movement, energy management and a deep understanding of leverage.
BJJ is a highly effective grappling art built on leverage, timing and technique rather than brute strength. By taking the fight to the ground and applying joint locks and chokeholds, a smaller person can defend against a larger opponent. We focus on longevity and smooth, efficient jiu-jitsu so you can train safely for years.
For beginners and grapplers
Beginners start in our Fundamentals classes with posture, base, movement, essential escapes and the positional controls that form the core of grappling. More experienced students develop through conceptual classes, positional sparring and live rolling, with an emphasis on energy management and smooth transitions to break through plateaus.
What to expect in class
A class begins with a warm-up built for grappling. Dynamic stretching, mobility and fundamentals like hip escapes and bridging. From there we drill technique and concepts, breaking down the why behind every move so you understand weight distribution and leverage, not just a sequence of steps. Most classes finish with positional sparring or live rolling in a controlled, intelligent way.
Gi, No-Gi and private
Gi Jiu-Jitsu
Train in the traditional uniform. Grip fighting, precise control and methodical technique, with belt progression from white to black.
No-Gi Grappling
A faster, more dynamic style without the gi. Underhooks, body control, takedowns and modern submission systems that carry over to MMA.
Private Lessons
One-on-one with our head coach. Assess your strengths, troubleshoot weaknesses and build a game plan suited to your body and goals.

As a Black Belt I'm very picky where I choose to train. At Khunpon and with Justin I found a place where I could train at my own pace.
★★★★★
Best place in Phuket to train martial arts, with great facilities and without doubt the best BJJ program in Thailand.
