We have tried our best to match all students as equally as possible. However, if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. All junior and juvenile matches (aged 4-17 years) will be in the Kimono so please bring them with you with your belts. All junior and juvenile matches (aged 4-17 years) will be following the IBJJF rules and points system.
Doors will now open at 9:15am for competitors and spectators. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your bracket begins. Anyone who is late will be DQed. Entry is absolutely free. We will also have fight wear and other club products on display for you to browse as well as snacks, tea/coffee.
Please remember that we encourage spectators and parents to cheer on competitors but politely request that everyone remains respectful at all times. We have trained staff and referees on the mats during matches and their decisions are final. Anyone disrespecting staff in anyway will be asked to leave and potentially be expelled from the club.

Another fantantic evening of Gracie jiu Jitsu with Ben Poppleton
Havering jiu Jitsu Academy were honoured once again to host a seminar with 3rd degree Black belt Ben Poppleton. Ben received his Black Belt from Master Carlos Gracie Jr. He is also the first British person to be awarded a black belt by a Gracie.
The evening received a lot of positive feedback from our Senior members that attended. “Thanks for organising this seminar, truly awesome stuff from Ben, really enjoy his style and the way it comes over. His breakdown application is excellent” said one HJJA member.
From all of us at HJJA we would also like to congratulate our long time student and resident instructor Tony Scaddon on his well deserved Brown Belt which he received on the night from head HJJA instructor David Tobin. Tony has been a valuable student for many years and continues to show hard work and loyalty to his team by giving back in so many ways. Tony teaches on Saturday mornings at the Academy were he welcomes all.
