# Kingston Jiu Jitsu - Mauricio Gomes Legacy
Kingston Jiu Jitsu is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy located in Kingston upon Thames, serving over 500 students across all ages and experience levels. Founded in 2012, the academy has grown from a small group into a thriving community under the guidance of head instructor Marc Barton, a black belt trained by legendary instructor Mauricio Gomes.
The academy caters to beginners discovering martial arts for the first time, children developing confidence and discipline through play-based learning, competitive athletes refining their techniques, and adults seeking practical self-defence skills. Women form a significant part of their community, with dedicated classes providing a supportive environment where technique and leverage overcome size differences.
What distinguishes Kingston Jiu Jitsu is its emphasis on creating a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere rather than an intimidating training environment. Their curriculum spans traditional gi-based Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, no-gi grappling with wrestling foundations suitable for MMA enthusiasts, and complementary striking arts including Muay Thai. The academy regularly hosts world-class seminars and events, whilst open mat sessions foster knowledge-sharing amongst members.
Their comprehensive class structure—from specialist beginner foundations to advanced technical programmes—ensures progressive development for every student. By combining rigorous technical instruction with genuine community values, Kingston Jiu Jitsu delivers authentic martial arts training rooted in the Mauricio Gomes Legacy.
