Building Strong foundations -
Beginner classes
The Adult Beginners Programme curriculum focuses on introductory techniques from every position, as well as core concepts in jiu jitsu practice that will aid in your development and progress.
These classes cover the core techniques to enhance overall jiu jitsu knowledge, improve movement and coordination, and introduce you to more advanced jiu jitsu techniques. Students are highly encouraged to ask questions in order to improve their individual understanding of the techniques and positions. All students – from white belt to black belt – are encouraged to participate in this programme.
A step up - advanced classes
The Advanced Programme gives students the opportunity to take their game to the next level through an in-depth exploration of more advanced jiu jitsu techniques and instruction. Students will also receive an extensive education into modern jiu jitsu practice, as well as less common situations that may arise during a match.
A L B A Jiu Jitsu's experienced instructors are always on hand to provide guidance, answer questions, and ensure that every student feels supported. With an emphasis on safety and progression, our classes are the ideal space to grow both your physical and mental resilience.
MASTERING SELF-DEFENCE - ADULT BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU CLASSES
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on technique, leverage, and control, allowing people of all sizes to defend themselves effectively. It emphasises ground fighting, submissions, and positional awareness, making it both practical for self-defence and highly effective for full-body fitness.

As part of an expert team, students benefit from elite, championship-calibre teaching while still feeling supported at every step.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR FIRST JIU JITSU CLASS
Walking into a Jiu Jitsu academy for the first time can raise a few questions. What happens on the mat? Who will I train with? Do I need to know anything beforehand?
At Alba Jiu Jitsu, beginners are shown what to do from the moment they arrive. Your coach will explain the class and guide you through the techniques in the Martial arts classes.
During your first session, you get to:
-
Meet your coach: Get introduced to the coaching team and learn how the class works before stepping onto the mat.
-
Start with a warm-up: The session begins with movements that prepare your body and help you get used to the way Jiu Jitsu training works.
-
Learn a technique: Your coach will demonstrate the technique, break down each movement, explain when to use it, and show you how to practise it safely.
-
Practise with a partner: You'll work through the technique with another student while your coach checks your positioning and answers questions.
-
Try some live training: Depending on your experience and comfort level, the coach may introduce controlled sparring. You won't be expected to know everything on your first day.
Take your time, ask questions, focus on learning and enjoy the experience. That's what the first class is for.
For anyone comparing martial arts schools in Solihull, the quality of coaching and the training environment matter just as much as the techniques. Alba Jiu Jitsu provides a friendly setting where adults can learn at their own pace.
