Wimbledon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defence

Wimbledon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defence was founded in 2014 by Carl Fisher, a lifelong martial artist with over 30 years’ experience and black belts in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Traditional Jiu Jitsu, as well as a background in Karate and Catch Wrestling. Carl’s teaching draws on a broad base, including training in boxing, wrestling, Sambo, Muay Thai and Judo, and nearly three decades working in frontline security and training police and security personnel. The club was built to offer serious, practical instruction in BJJ and self-defence for the South Wimbledon community, with an emphasis on structured, high-level coaching and genuine skill development for all ages. The academy’s timetable reflects this practical and inclusive approach. Adults have access to both gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, with dedicated beginners’ classes alongside all-levels sessions, as well as No-Gi & Catch Wrestling classes for those wanting to broaden their grappling. There’s also a full Muay Thai programme, and women’s self-defence classes taught with real-world application in mind. For younger students, the L’il Monkeys BJJ programme is split into 5–9 and 10–13 year groups, focusing on confidence, fitness and self-defence skills from an early age. All classes are designed to be beginner-friendly but offer plenty of depth for more advanced practitioners, and drop-ins are welcome. Wimbledon Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Self Defence has become a fixture in the London BJJ scene, known for its well-structured classes and the breadth of martial arts on offer under one roof. The club regularly hosts seminars with respected figures from the wider grappling community, and students have gone on to medal at competitions across the UK. The facility itself is easy to reach in South Wimbledon, with ample parking and comfortable, well-maintained mats that support both hard training and a positive, ego-free atmosphere.
