Z73 BJJ

Z73 BJJ is based in Southall at the Abu Bakr Masjid, offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training rooted in the traditional grappling art without striking. The academy is led by Osman, a purple belt under Lorenzo Fraquelli—a Roger Gracie black belt—who has trained since 2015. Osman balances his teaching with his role as a Curriculum Leader of Computer Science at a local secondary school and has extensive experience working with children, holding full DBS clearance. The school plans to expand its girls’ classes soon, reflecting its commitment to accessible training for all ages and genders. Training at Z73 BJJ is structured around developing technical skills, physical conditioning, and confidence. Classes are separated by age and gender, with boys starting from five years old and adults divided into men’s and women’s sessions. The schedule includes multiple evening classes for men throughout the week and a dedicated children’s class on Sundays. Class times are adjusted to accommodate prayer schedules at the mosque, incorporating brief breaks as needed to respect the local community’s practices. The gym focuses on creating a straightforward, disciplined environment where newcomers to martial arts can learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals alongside more experienced practitioners. No-Gi training is not highlighted, maintaining a gi-centred approach consistent with its lineage. Communication with the academy is primarily via WhatsApp, and visitors are encouraged to reach out with questions or to arrange trial sessions, making it easy for those in Greater London to explore BJJ within a culturally connected setting.
