Luciano Cristovam BJJ Academy

Luciano Cristovam BJJ Academy sits in the heart of North London, founded and led by Luciano Cristovam—a black belt under Roger Gracie, with a competitive pedigree including World, European, and Pan-American titles. Luciano began his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journey at the age of six in Brazil, training under both Renzo and Roger Gracie. His philosophy views Jiu-Jitsu as more than a set of techniques, emphasising the art’s wider impact on life and personal development. The coaching team brings together a range of backgrounds, from competition experience to cross-training in other martial arts, contributing to a well-rounded approach on the mats. The academy’s programme is structured to support steady progression for all ages and abilities. Adults can access fundamentals, intermediate, and advanced classes in the gi, as well as no-gi sessions and regular open mat times. Beginners are welcomed through introductory classes, while those looking to push their skills further can train in more advanced formats or take part in sparring-focused sessions. Children’s classes are divided by age groups—4–6, 7–10, and 11+—ensuring that youngsters learn in a setting suited to their stage of development, with a strong emphasis on confidence and self-discipline. Beyond BJJ, the timetable includes striking classes covering Muay Thai and kickboxing, led by coaches with both competitive and teaching experience. The academy’s doors are open throughout the week from early mornings to evenings, and drop-ins are welcome in all classes, making it straightforward for visitors or shift workers to fit training into their schedule. The gym’s location at Holmes Studios provides a dedicated space for serious training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and related disciplines in London.
