# Eddie Kone Academy of Jiu-Jitsu
EK BJJ is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy based in Walthamstow, East London, offering authentic Gracie lineage training under Professor Eddie Kone, a 4th Degree Black Belt with direct connections to Rickson Gracie and the legendary Helio Gracie. With over 25 years of experience, the academy serves adults, children, and women of all abilities—from complete beginners to advanced competitors.
The academy distinguishes itself through its unwavering commitment to authentic Gracie Jiu-Jitsu rather than purely competition-focused training. Classes emphasise real-world self-defence, technical efficiency, and personal development alongside martial skill. This philosophy extends across their diverse programme offerings: traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, No-Gi grappling, striking and clinching, takedowns and throws, and specialised law enforcement training for police and emergency services.
What truly sets EKBJJ apart is their emphasis on creating an inclusive, welcoming environment where safety and respect form the foundation of training. Located minutes from Blackhorse Road station on Sutherland Road, they offer flexible membership options with classes six days weekly across morning and evening slots. Their structured approach caters to genuine skill progression, whether someone seeks personal fitness, self-defence capability, or competitive achievement.
The academy's direct heritage from the Gracie family—the originators of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—provides unmatched authenticity and depth that appeals to martial arts enthusiasts seeking legitimate training from proven lineage.
