Roger Gracie Academy Wimbledon

Roger Gracie Academy Wimbledon operates within the Ray Stevens Academy in New Malden, led by Ray Stevens—a former Olympic silver medallist in judo and lifelong martial artist. Ray’s journey began at the Budokwai, and after a decorated competitive career, he turned his focus to teaching and building a space where grappling arts could be passed down with integrity and depth. His hand-picked team of coaches bring significant experience across Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo and other disciplines, ensuring students benefit from a well-rounded and technically sound approach. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programme covers both gi and no-gi training, with a clear progression from fundamentals through to advanced techniques. Kids BJJ classes are available, focusing on the basics and developing confidence for younger students. For adults, the schedule includes no-gi sessions open to all levels, and open mat times for extra practice or rolling. The academy runs classes seven days a week, making it straightforward for members to find a time that fits around work or family commitments. The facilities are extensive, with two floors of matted space, gym equipment, changing rooms, saunas, a treatment room and a café area. Drop-ins are welcome, and the open mat sessions provide a chance for visitors and regulars alike to train together. The academy’s roots run deep in the London grappling scene, shaped by Ray Stevens’ commitment to technical excellence and the belief that martial arts is a lifelong pursuit.
