I joined the Armoury about a year ago now and it was the first time doing martial arts as an adult. When I joined I had nothing but encouragement and support from the gym, such a great environment to learn BJJ and escape life’s general stress. Been to other gyms and no other has the same vibe. Andy has created a great environment and a proper family here!!

The Armoury is a fantastic place to learn BJJ. I have been coming to classes for just under a year and Andy is an amazing instructor. He has built an incredible environment that is so welcoming to everyone. There are so many great, friendly and supportive people here with a real team culture. Andy’s classes are always so detailed, safe and structured and he pays great attention to detail to everyone. The best place to train!

I’d never done any sort of martial arts before joining, to be honest I’d always felt it’d be awkward to join and setup but my good friend started a week before and said Coach Andy was different level. 6 months on and I’m absolutely loving it. From my first session, was welcomed into the community by the team - who are always happy to help you learn and Andy has an awesome way of teaching. Ego gets left at the door and everyone respects the sport and each other. If you’re considering getting involved, don’t hesitate!

Sean Ramsay

Felt welcomed from day 1. Friendly and fun classes all the time. Good bunch of lads and lassie's! Andy is very detailed when explaining drill's. Great coach and amazing dojo to train in.

Dave Read

Andy is a fantastic coach and is very welcoming to those new to BJJ. As an older starter I was apprehensive about training, but right from Day 1 I was put at ease by Andy and how friendly everybody was. There is a great mix of levels and ages training here.

Matt Hutton

Brilliant place to roll, great community and instructors! Highly recommend.

Sherrill Tobin

Andy always makes you feel welcome, and builds great bonds with the children. my daughter has learnt so much over the last year, from discipline within class to key skills of jujitsu. She always looks forward to the classes and learning new things.

Owen Drury

I’ve trained BJJ for a few years now under many coaches and Andy is a class above. When I joined I was surprised at the skill level of even the newest people in the gym - which all comes down to Andy and the community at the Armory for the coaching and training. Definitely the best gym in the local area - whether you’re just starting or want to progress your game - here is the perfect place.

Alex Chan

My daughter is joining the class. She love it so much

Cameron Stewart

This is by far one of if not the best sports gym I have been to. It’s a really welcoming place with no judgment it made me feel very welcomed from day 1. Andy is an amazing coach and really tries to look out for his pupils. Could not recommend this place enough

What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ, or simply Jiu Jitsu) is a ground fighting martial art that specialises in joint locks and chokes to secure a victory over your opponent, known as a 'tap'. BJJ helps smaller opponents defeat larger opponents using leverage, tactics and technique rather than strength and power.

Once you and/or your opponent are on the ground, there are a number of manoeuvres and counter-manoeuvres available to control your opponent, secure a dominant position and apply a submission. These techniques include passing guard to defend and attack from the bottom, mount, side and the back, and locking in submissions like guillotines, armbars, triangle chokes, rear naked chokes and leg locks.

Sparring (commonly referred to as 'rolling') and live drilling play a vital role in training. Performance in drilling, sparring and competition, as well as attendance, are crucial for progressing through belts and grades.
