Adult Jiu jitsu Classes
Our Adult classes are for people looking for real training that provides real results. This modern ground fighting system from Brazil has grown in the last few decades from small underground competition communities to one of the world’s most renowned martial arts, not only as a self defense system but as an incredible fitness and mental training activity embraced by all ages, sizes, and demographics.
Hout Bay’s Jiu jitsu academy gives you access to high quality Jiu Jitsu instruction, led by South African world champion John Collett.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is renowned for its use as a tool that builds self confidence and discipline in both men and women. When you successfully learn how to defend yourself and even defeat a larger, stronger opponent, confidence naturally follows.
If you are looking for a real self defense, an amazing workout both mentally and physically, a community that treats each other like family and a hobby that will challenge you in more ways than you can imagine, it’s time to try some Jiu jitsu at Hout Bay’s first and only Jiu jitsu academy.

Ladies only self defense
Jiu Jitsu allows practitioners to survive and defeat bigger, stronger, seemingly more athletic opponents, using technique and strategy to overcome strength and size differences. This ability to defeat larger, stronger opponents, is precisely what made Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into the worldwide phenomenon it is today, and makes it the perfect martial art for women to learn.
Our instructors will help you run drills to simulate realistic attack and escape situations you might encounter in the real world. With practice, you can leverage an attacker’s weight against them, allowing you to escape and get to safety unharmed. The self-defense techniques taught in this class use Jiu-Jitsu fundamentals that complement our selection of additional adult classes.
