May Bank Holiday Open Mat

May Bank Holiday Open Mat On the 29th May 2023, the New School BJJ Battersea branch held an Open Mat session, so that our members could take advantage of getting some training in on the Bank holiday. BJJ students of the Tokei Martial Arts club came down to our dojo for a visit, which gave us the chance to train and spar with people that we haven’t met before, and who also have a lot of Judo experience on top of their BJJ training.

At the end of the session, and after all the enjoyable hard […]

Kids Comp Training

Kids Comp Training On Sunday 15th May, New School BJJ held a competition training session for the kids. Unlike a regular session, there was no focus on drilling techniques. After a warm up, they were given a brief explanation of the points system. After this, the kids were put into groups to do a few rounds of round robin sparring, whereby one opponent stays on for two rounds.
