Premier BJJ & Catch Wrestling

Premier BJJ & Catch Wrestling in Harrow has grown out of head coach Chris Foran’s lifelong commitment to martial arts. With over four decades on the mats, Chris is a 3rd degree black belt under Roger Gracie and his father Mauricio, and also holds a rare certification in catch wrestling from Billy Robinson. Since beginning his teaching career in 1996, Chris has built five academies with nearly 2,500 students, combining his broad expertise in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing, taekwondo, and hapkido. The Harrow location continues this tradition, offering authentic BJJ rooted in the Gracie lineage, supported by a team of experienced instructors and competitive athletes. The academy runs a full schedule throughout the week, with BJJ classes for adults and children, as well as specialised sessions in no-gi and catch wrestling. Beginners are given a structured introduction to the fundamentals, with a clear progression for those interested in self-defence or competition. There are separate classes for kids and teens, and women’s self-defence is a regular feature. The coaching team includes black belts with professional MMA experience and medal-winning backgrounds, ensuring that students benefit from a wide range of grappling and striking approaches. Training at Premier BJJ & Catch Wrestling balances tradition and innovation. The academy’s curriculum reflects both classic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the practical demands of modern grappling, with opportunities to cross-train in kickboxing, wrestling, and judo. Open mat sessions and competition team practices are available for those looking to test themselves further. Located at 19 Pinner Road, Harrow, the gym welcomes practitioners from across Greater London who want to learn under instructors connected directly to the Gracie family.
