This is a grappling art where students wear a tradition ‘Gi’ (a specialised heavy cotton suit), a belt and gum shield. You will learn to manipulate your opponent and their Gi resulting in a submission using various joint locks and chokes. You will study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) at all levels, progressing through the BJJ belt system under Combat Base UK. Voodoo Gym is also a certified member of the UKBJJA. If you wish to challenge yourself we offer many opportunities to compete locally, nationally and internationally, often under IBJJF rules as well as others.
Thai Boxing and Kick Boxing are striking arts involving punching, kicking, elbow and knee strikes and a certain level of clinch work. We utilise a variety of safety equipment that your coach will advise you upon. These skills are delivered by highly experienced coaches, progressing through the belt system to the ultimate ‘Black Belt’ recognised and recorded on the National Black Belt Register.

There are opportunities to compete under a variety of rule sets including Muay Thai classes A, B and C, K1 and other Full Contact Kick Boxing rules.
