The **Brighton Marina Jiu Jitsu Academy**, a unique place which brings to Brighton the merger that happened when the Japanese culture of jiu jitsu travelled to Brazil, has officially opened its doors.

**Gus Oliveira**, who owns the academy, explains: “Jiu-Jitsu is not just self defence, it also promotes confidence and is a lifestyle. We aimed to open in 2020 but because of coronavirus it didn’t quite happen, but now we are officially open. All are welcome; we have an open door policy that embraces everyone from different races, sexualities, genders and religions. We only ask one thing, that is to respect one other.”

The Academy brings together a group of very qualified and knowledgable teachers from around the world. As Gus explains: “**Romulo** and I, as Jiu-Jitsu coaches are from Rio. We both met as boys and have trained together for many years. We also have **Tai** from Thailand who teaches Thai stretching. We aim to have many people coming from all over to bring a variety of martial arts to Brighton.”

There are classes throughout the day from early morning to evening geared for adults, children and young people. There is also a coffee shop area for parents and those who train to be together and talk. Gus added: “We have lawyers, builders, artists, photographers many people from all walks of life. Come by and try it and see if it’s for you. I believe you will find something here that you will really enjoy”.
