Beginners BJJ Course in Barrow-in-Furness
Never trained before? Good — this course was built for you. The LOBO BJJ Beginners Course is a structured 4-week introduction to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Barrow-in-Furness, designed for complete beginners. No experience, no fitness requirement, no judgement.
Who This Course Is For
If any of these sound like you, you're exactly who we built this for:
- You've thought about starting BJJ for months (or years) but kept putting it off
- You think you need to "get fit first" — you don't, the training gets you fit
- You're worried about being the new person — everyone on our mats started exactly where you are
- You've never done a martial art in your life
How the Course Works
Over 4 weeks you'll train alongside other beginners in a structured environment. You'll learn the fundamental positions, escapes and movements of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu — built from the ground up, step by step. No being thrown in the deep end with experienced grapplers.
By the end of the course you'll have real skills, real confidence, and a clear pathway into our main classes.
What Happens After the Course?
Graduates are invited to join the academy as full members, with over 20 classes per week across GI, No-GI and wrestling. No joining fee.
- £60/month — 12 month agreement
- £65/month — 6 month agreement
- £70/month — rolling monthly
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be fit before I start?
No. This is the most common reason people delay starting, and it's backwards — BJJ is how you get fit. The course is paced for beginners.
Am I too old to start BJJ?
No. We have members who started in their 30s, 40s and beyond. BJJ is a lifelong sport — you train at your own pace.
What do I need for my first session?
Shorts or leggings and a t-shirt. We'll talk you through GI options once you're up and running.
Is it full contact? Will I get hurt?
BJJ is grappling — no punching or kicking. The beginners course is technique-focused and controlled. You'll be training with other beginners under close coaching supervision.
