I can’t say enough good things about this gym. The atmosphere has been welcoming and the coach is very supportive and knowledgeable. He takes the time to break things down so everyone whether you’re a beginner or more advanced can improve at their own pace.

Top-notch jiu-jitsu gym. The level of instruction is excellent and the team has a really strong culture, hardworking but respectful. You get pushed to improve, but it’s always in a supportive environment. Clean facilities, well-organised classes, and a great group of people to train with. Couldn’t ask for more.

Checkmat Orpington is a dedicated, full-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Submission Grappling academy. We offer world-class martial arts instruction for adults and children, completely free from gym politics and egos.
Adult BJJ & No-Gi Grappling: Whether you want to learn practical self-defence, compete in tournaments, or just get fit, our classes cater to all levels. We offer 16.5+ hours of weekly mat time, including rare morning classes for shift workers. Training relies on leverage and technique, not striking, making it extremely safe for beginners.

Learn directly from Black Belt Coach Zangado under the globally renowned Checkmat Europe and VN Team lineage.

Burn up to 1000 calories in a single session without even realizing you're exercising!
