Mauricio Gomes Jiu-jitsu Legacy West London

Mauricio Gomes Jiu-jitsu Legacy West London in Northolt carries forward a profound lineage rooted in the early days of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Founded under the guidance of Ash Hoque, a black belt awarded by both Mauricio Gomes and Roger Gracie, the academy honours the legacy of its namesake, Mauricio Gomes, an 8th Degree Coral Belt and a key figure in the UK’s BJJ history. Mauricio’s journey began as a child training under Rolls Gracie, whose mentorship shaped him into a champion and teacher. Ash, who combines a judo and karate background with years of BJJ experience starting in 2008, now leads the academy with a focus on preserving these traditions while fostering growth in the local community. Training at Mauricio Gomes Jiu-jitsu Legacy West London emphasises a structured, safe, and progressive approach suitable for all levels. Classes cover fundamentals through to advanced techniques, accommodating adults, women, and children alike. Women’s and kids’ classes are led by coaches like Stephanie Masetto, who brings over a decade of experience and integrates movement and resilience coaching into her sessions. The academy offers gi and no-gi training, with a particular emphasis on practical self-defence, confidence-building, and technical precision. Sessions are held twice weekly, providing a steady rhythm for consistent development and personal progress. The academy operates from St. Barnabas Church in Northolt, welcoming drop-ins and newcomers with a free trial class to introduce them to the art and culture of BJJ. Safety and individual pacing are priorities, reflecting Ash Hoque’s philosophy of nurturing resilience and confidence on and off the mats. With close ties to Mauricio Gomes himself, who mentors the head instructor and occasionally visits for seminars, the school maintains a direct connection to the origins of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the UK, making it a distinct place for those serious about the art.
