# Arlans Siqueira Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Arlans Siqueira BJJ is a specialist martial arts academy offering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction across Essex and Greater London, with a primary location in Ilford. Founded by Arlans Siqueira, a 4th degree BJJ instructor and recognised as the first BJJ instructor in the UK—establishing classes back in 1996—the academy has been instrumental in developing the sport throughout England.
The business serves multiple demographics: adults seeking professional BJJ training in a safe, welcoming environment; children and juniors aged 12+ looking to build confidence, self-defence skills and discipline; and families wanting to train together through their mixed-age No Gi classes. The academy operates across multiple Essex locations including Buckhurst Hill, Barkingside, and Whetstone in North London, serving communities in Chadwell Heath, Chigwell, Hainault, Loughton, Woodford and surrounding Redbridge areas.
What distinguishes Arlans Siqueira BJJ is its heritage and reputation. Arlans himself is renowned throughout the global jiu jitsu community for his distinctive character and the strong bonds he cultivates with students. The academy emphasises core values of respect and discipline alongside technical instruction. Their juniors programme specifically addresses youth development with a "bully-proof" focus, whilst their family-oriented classes promote bonding through martial arts. The instruction maintains authenticity through Arlans's lineage under Roberto Ferreira Da Silva, founder of Beto & Cia Jiu Jitsu and head coach at Alliance Brazil.
