Founded in 2021 by BJJ black belt Jack Grattan, uncommon Jiu Jitsu brings Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to the heart of Holborn, London. Jack’s approach is rooted in over a decade of experience, including international competition and coaching on three continents. His philosophy centres on accessibility and progression for all, with a strong focus on building confidence, fitness, and practical self-defence skills. The club is based in the Uncommon building and has quickly established itself as a space for those keen to learn and grow, whether their interest is athletic or self-protective. Classes at uncommon Jiu Jitsu are structured with a beginner-friendly syllabus, prioritising fundamentals while allowing space for progression as students advance. The schedule includes both morning and evening sessions, with specific early classes led by assistant coach Ade Odusanya, a recent European medallist known for his articulate and technical teaching style. Joe Chapple, newly promoted to black belt and a regular on the domestic competition podium, lends his expertise in takedowns and his reputation for patient, personable coaching. Sessions are designed to be inclusive, with a focus on helping each student find their path, whether they are hobbyists or aspiring competitors. The club’s ethos is built around three core values: always welcoming, evolving through competition, and supporting each other. This is reflected in the day-to-day training, where students of all backgrounds are encouraged to participate and develop at their own pace. The environment is deliberately inclusive, and the coaching team is attentive to individual needs. Visitors and beginners are welcome to get in touch and try a class, making uncommon Jiu Jitsu a practical choice for anyone interested in learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in central London.
