# Ashby BJJ Description
Ashby BJJ is a family-run Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy located in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, established in 2025. Based at Motiv8studio in the rear market hall, the academy offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction for both children aged 7 and upwards and adults, creating an accessible entry point for the entire community.
The academy distinguishes itself through its emphasis on technique over strength and power, making BJJ accessible to people of all sizes and abilities. This philosophy is particularly valuable for younger participants, where the sport develops critical life skills beyond physical fitness. Children benefit from improved confidence, self-defence capabilities, discipline, and crucially, the mental resilience to remain calm under pressure whilst developing problem-solving abilities.
For adult members, Ashby BJJ offers both a demanding physical workout and a strategic mental challenge, positioning BJJ as an effective calorie-burning fitness pursuit combined with intellectual engagement. The academy's founding principle centres on creating a welcoming and encouraging environment, recognising that community atmosphere is essential to member growth and progression.
As part of the broader BJJ movement—the fastest-growing combat sport globally—Ashby BJJ taps into a sport valued for its emphasis on controlled grappling, positional advancement, and submission techniques. Their free trial offer removes barriers to entry, inviting potential members to experience the academy firsthand before committing to membership.
