A Priceless Life skill
Jiu jitsu is about more than just self-defence; it’s a great way to build confidence, improve fitness, and support mental well-being. One of the things we love most about it is how it clears your mind. When you’re grappling, there’s no room to think about anything else, which can be surprisingly calming.
As our head coach, Gav says: 'Jiu Jitsu is like learning to swim, it’s a skill that everyone should have.'
We’re proud of the community we’ve built at 10th Planet Banbury and look forward to seeing our team grow both on and off the mats. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, we’d love for you to join us.
