Stance Jiu Jitsu , Woolwich

Stance Jiu Jitsu, Woolwich was founded on the belief that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a vehicle for personal growth as much as for self-defence or competition. Head coach Jota Viklander is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with over 14 years of experience, known for guiding athletes in both gi and no-gi to success at various levels, including MMA. Jota’s approach combines technical analysis with a practical, student-focused style on the mats, aiming to help each individual reach their potential—whether their goals are confidence, fitness, or competition. The academy’s programme covers the needs of a diverse student base in South East London. There is a dedicated beginner course for adults, easing newcomers into the fundamentals at a comfortable pace. Regular classes include both gi and no-gi BJJ, with a structured curriculum that supports progression from basics through to more advanced techniques. For women, there is a specific women-only programme, taught by experienced female instructors, providing a supportive and focused space for learning. Kids’ classes are split by age group, with lessons built around respect, discipline and character as much as technical skill, and the after-school programme is particularly popular among local families. Training at Stance Jiu Jitsu is available six days a week, with sessions running from mid-afternoon into the evening on weekdays, and Saturday mornings. Drop-ins are welcome, and private lessons are available for those seeking more tailored instruction. The academy also offers kids’ Muay Thai, led by a coach with a background in youth development and martial arts competition. Located on Woolwich High Street, Stance Jiu Jitsu serves students from Woolwich, Greenwich, Plumstead, Charlton and beyond, and is easily accessible by public transport.
