Meet The Coach
Chris started jiu jitsu with Mill Hill BJJ Head Instructor the late Nick Brooks at the age of 15 when the club was a purely Japanese Jiu Jitsu club. Chris enjoyed the classes immensely in all aspects but one aspect in particular was that of ground fighting. Chris and Nick would train together submission wrestling starting a Saturday club which would be the basis for what would become Mill Hill BJJ.
After a few years Chris and Nick started training ground fighting in a Gi with Joao Santos after meeting him on a seminar and never looked back. They continued their training at the Roger Gracie Academy when it first opened in 2004. Continuing to train there on and off for the next 10 years or so.
Our Classes
BJJ or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a self defence martial art which finds its roots in early Judo as founded by Jigaro Kano in the late 19th century.
It uses leverage, control and pins, to submit and subdue an opponent. This can be very effective when you have an opponent who is a lot bigger and not very technically adept, making the art very effective for people of a smaller satutre.
It was a Martial Art that had been altered and developed by the Gracie family in Brazil in early to mid 20th Century. The art is always developing with new concepts because of its problem solving nature, this makes the art fluid enough to look at and test new ideas.
I was so nervous and out of my depth when I started this martial arts - I was a complete newbie and it did not intially come naturally to me. 2+ years in, and I feel incredibly comfortable and confident on the mats. Chris and the team are so patient and have given me so much support
