Develop precision, control, and confidence in our Gi classes, where every session focuses on building your skills in a supportive, structured environment.
At Mata BJJ, we are dedicated to helping students of all levels develop their skills, confidence, and love for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Under the guidance of head instructor José Mata, a 2nd-degree BJJ black belt with extensive competition and professional experience, our club provides a welcoming and supportive environment where learning and growth are always the focus. Every student is encouraged to progress at their own pace while being part of a community that values respect, discipline, and camaraderie.
Our Gi classes offer structured, technical training that focuses on grips, control, and precision. Whether you are stepping onto the mats for the first time or refining advanced techniques, each session is designed to improve your understanding of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals, enhance your strategy, and help you develop practical skills that transfer both on and off the mats. With clear instruction and hands-on guidance from José, every class is an opportunity to strengthen your technique and build confidence.

We will offer a program outline at Mata BJJ that is organised into four stages. This outline aims to develop and guide students through a progressive learning process in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each stage includes essential concepts, specific techniques, and recommended drills to reinforce the learning experience.
Focus on Stage 1 techniques and drills.
Introduce Stage 2 concepts and integrate with Stage 1.
Emphasise Stage 3, combining with previous Stages.
Concentrate on Stage 4, ensuring integration of all stages.
Note: At Mata BJJ, we adjust the duration of each stage based on student progress and comprehension. We also regularly incorporate review sessions to reinforce previous lessons.
