Shinbudo London Grappling Club
Shinbudo London Grappling Club
We are a community club based in the South Hampstead and St John’s Wood area, London, teaching Judo, BJJ and SAMBO to both children and adults. Our training philosophy is simple: we practice grappling arts, and everything we learn is tested with a resisting opponent in a competitive (yet cooperative and friendly) environment. We strive to excel in each individual grappling art we practice (be it judo, sambo, wrestling, or brazilian jiu-jitsu) and, no less importantly, to develop as well-rounded grapplers, proficient in all the multiple dimensions of the grappling game. We are affiliated to the British Judo Association, and the club is supported by the Tenants and Residents Association of the Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate. We are lucky to have an outstanding and highly qualified professional Head Coach, Glenn Spiers (a 6th dan, level 4 coach, also under the BJA) who also trains BJJ at Carlson Gracie London (holding a brown belt).
