North London Jiu Jitsu

North London Jiu Jitsu was founded by Michal Luterek and Sebastian Swislocki, both lifelong martial artists and active black belt competitors with extensive tournament experience. Michal, a European and London Open Brown Belt Champion, and Sebastian, a decorated competitor across gi and no-gi formats with multiple IBJJF and European medals, bring a pragmatic and competition-informed approach to coaching. Their goal in establishing the academy was to create a space where practitioners of all levels could develop confidence, discipline, and mental toughness through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training in the heart of Greater London. Training at North London Jiu Jitsu follows a structured curriculum that emphasises fundamentals for beginners while offering progression to more advanced techniques and competition preparation. The academy runs regular classes for adults and children, with kids’ sessions starting from age four, reflecting a commitment to building confidence and skill from a young age. Classes are held on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at Southgate Leisure Centre, focusing on gi training with some no-gi elements incorporated, all led by instructors who maintain a hands-on, encouraging coaching style. Membership is straightforward, with options to train up to four times per week without long-term contracts, reflecting the academy’s flexible approach to commitment. Drop-in classes are available at £15 each, and the first class is free for newcomers. The training environment prioritises cleanliness and safety, and the team supports each student’s individual journey, whether for fitness, self-defence, or competition. This practical, no-nonsense philosophy underpins North London Jiu Jitsu’s presence in the local martial arts scene.
