Tuesdays at 6pm
Womens grappling in Eastbourne
A womens no-gi class every Tuesday evening - technical, welcoming and run at your pace. Learn real grappling and real self-defence alongside other women, whether you have trained for years or never set foot on a mat.
You train with women
Tuesday at 6pm is a womens mat: you learn with and roll with other women, from complete beginners to experienced grapplers. No being paired with a stranger twice your size on day one.
No experience needed
Most people arrive never having done a martial art. The class starts from zero: how to move, how to hold a position, how to tap and reset. Nobody is left to sink or swim.
What to wear
Leggings or shorts and a t-shirt - nothing with zips, buttons or pockets. This is a no-gi class, so there is nothing to buy. Hair tied back, water bottle, flip-flops for off the mat.
Hygiene matters here
Clean mats, clean kit, trimmed nails - simple etiquette that everyone follows, every session. It is a small thing that makes close-contact training feel completely normal.
Strength is not the point
Jiu-jitsu was built so a smaller person can control a bigger one with leverage, timing and technique. You do not need to be strong or fit to start - that comes from the training itself.
The class is coached by the Novo team under head coach Alex Salisbury, with the same patience we bring to every beginner on the mat - and the rest of the timetable is open to you whenever you want more.
