Putney Jiu Jitsu - 5* BJJ Gym in South West London

Putney Jiu Jitsu - 5* BJJ Gym in South West London was founded in 2020 by Paul Hartley and Tim Grant with the aim of building a focused, modern Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in the heart of Putney. Head Professor Paul Hartley brings over 40 years of martial arts experience and is a 3rd degree black belt, IBJJF certified and a multi-time competition medallist. Together with his senior team, including co-founder Tim Grant and sports science graduate Alex Geddes, the academy is run with an emphasis on technical excellence, personal development and approachable coaching for all ages and backgrounds. Training at Putney BJJ is structured around small class sizes and capped membership, with each student receiving a personalised plan tailored to their goals and stage of learning. The timetable covers Gi and No-Gi BJJ for all levels, from complete beginners to advanced athletes, alongside dedicated fundamentals and intermediate sessions. There are also specific classes for women, as well as a full youth programme including Kidjitsu, Junior BJJ and teens’ classes, all led by experienced instructors and supported by first aid trained staff. Regular open mat sessions and intermediate-level No-Gi drilling provide time for sparring, experimentation and refining techniques outside of structured classes. The academy’s facilities are purpose-built for both training and recovery, featuring premium mats, a sauna and a cold plunge to support members’ physical wellbeing. The coaching team places a strong emphasis on discipline, detail and steady improvement, whether for competition or personal progress. Drop-ins are welcome, and private lessons are available for those seeking more individualised attention. With its roots firmly in the local London community, Putney BJJ maintains a disciplined but friendly atmosphere where every member is guided towards achieving their own goals, on and off the mats.
