Claim this gymPutney Jiu Jitsu + Fitness was founded in 2020 in South West London by Paul Hartley and Tim Grant, with a vision to build a focused, modern space for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu that puts the individual’s progress and well-being at the centre. Paul Hartley, a 3rd degree black belt with over four decades in martial arts and a long track record as a competitor and instructor, leads the academy as Head Professor. Tim Grant, himself a black belt and active masters competitor, co-founded the school after years of training under Paul. Together, they set out to create a club where technical standards are high, but the atmosphere is friendly and accessible, making it easy for beginners to feel at home and for advanced athletes to push themselves. Training at Putney Jiu Jitsu + Fitness covers the full spectrum of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with classes in both gi and no-gi formats. The academy runs a weekly structure with capped class sizes and limited membership, allowing for a personalised approach—each student receives a training plan tailored to their experience, physiology and goals. The schedule includes beginner fundamentals, all-level classes, and dedicated competition sessions. Open mat times are regular, offering members the freedom to drill, spar, and experiment with techniques. There’s also a strong focus on recovery and longevity, with facilities such as a sauna, cold plunge, and a premium Fuji mat system designed to support serious and consistent training. The coaching team brings a mix of experience and energy to the mats. Alongside Paul and Tim, Alex Geddes leads the fundamentals and junior programmes, drawing on his background in sports science and success at the IBJJF European championships. The kids’ classes are supported by coaches like Robynne J, who is first aid trained and DBS checked, ensuring a safe and encouraging space for young practitioners. Women’s classes, private lessons, and a commitment to safeguarding make the academy accessible to a diverse membership. Located in Putney, the school has quickly established itself as a hub for BJJ in London, blending technical rigour with a genuine sense of community.
