Roger Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy HQ

Roger Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy HQ in London was founded by Roger Gracie, a 10-time BJJ world champion and grandson of Carlos Gracie, the founder of the art itself. Alongside his father, Mauricio Gomes, an 8th degree white and red belt, Roger established the academy in West London as the headquarters for his approach to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The academy is recognised as a centre for technical excellence and has played a significant role in the growth of BJJ not just in London, but across the UK, with a strong emphasis on the traditional values and methodology of the Gracie family. Training at the academy covers a broad curriculum, including both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. There are structured classes for beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners, as well as open mat sessions and competition training. Kickboxing is also offered, blending elements from boxing, karate and Muay Thai for those looking to expand their striking skills. For families, there are dedicated classes for children and teens, focusing on discipline, confidence and self-defence, with age-appropriate instruction that reflects the academy’s belief in lifelong learning and personal development through martial arts. The teaching team includes Roger Gracie himself, Mauricio Gomes, and a roster of highly qualified black belt instructors such as Bruno Zancaner, Kywan Gracie, Uyi Agbontean, Alex Smith, Arturas Luskinas and Abbie O’Toole. Classes run from early morning into the evening on weekdays, with additional sessions on weekends, making it possible for a wide range of students to train regularly. Visitors and drop-ins are welcome, and the academy’s central Hammersmith location makes it accessible for those living or working in Greater London.
