Coach Jim at 33 Jiu Jitsu

Coach Jim started kickboxing as a young child and quickly fell in love with martial arts of all kinds. He specialized as a boxer when he moved to London in his early 20s and went on to win the Queensbury Boxing League light heavyweight championship in 2014.

 

Shortly afterwards, a friend convinced him to try Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and he never looked back.

He is currently a purple belt and now enjoys competing in the over-40s senior category.

Coach Rayyan at 33 Jiu Jitsu

Coach Rayyan began training in Jiu Jitsu three years ago alongside his Kickboxing. Having been picked on from a young age, he grew up feeling vulnerable and unsure of his ability to protect himself.

Martial arts became a turning point. Through consistent training, he developed not only practical self-defence skills, but also resilience, confidence, and mental strength. What started as a way to feel safe quickly became a passion.

Now, as a coach, he is dedicated to helping others build confidence and develop self-belief.
