Learn · Practise · Progress
BJJ at your own pace.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a grappling martial art: you learn to control a partner, escape and build attacks without exchanging strikes. Technique, positioning and understanding positions are central to the practice.
At the Cercle, classes are organised by level so everyone can progress towards their goals. Whether you are stepping onto the mats for the first time, training for enjoyment or preparing for competition, you can find a setting suited to your journey.
Sessions take place at different times of day and continue during school holidays with a specific timetable. Choose your pace while following shared foundations from one class to the next.

A history passed on
BJJ at the Cercle since 1995.
In 1995, Rickson Gracie taught his first seminar at Cercle Tissier. Under Christian Derval’s initiative, the Cercle’s first Brazilian jiu-jitsu classes took shape.
This history continues today through the teachers, students and generations of practitioners who meet on its mats.
