Chesterfield Self-Defence

Both my daughter and I love training with Chris at Chesterfield Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defence. I have never felt as calm and capable elsewhere as I do here. As both a Jiu Jitsu enthusiast and as a larger lady looking to lose weight I find myself very comfortable at both the class and private sessions. I would highly recommend joining.

Chris and Steve visited the office to run a self defence class for a small adult group who had no previous experience in martial arts. The teachers created a a relaxed, fun learning atmosphere and we learned several Jiu Jitsu techniques that gave us more confidence.

Chris is a fantastic teacher for both children and adults alike,he teaches what the founder of bjj helio Gracie taught and you will not find better.

Professional skilled instructor ,very high standard of hygiene and friendly atmosphere . Private classes are a good option for busy people like me . I can book them on early mornings ,afternoons ,evenings .Highly recommended.

My son Leo has been learning Jiu Jitsu since the age of 4 and is now 9! It's a hobby that he enjoys and gives him confidence at school and in other areas of his social life. I feel confident and happy as a parent knowing that Leo would be able to defend himself if a problem ever arose. Thanks Chris for being a great teacher!

I have started private sessions with Chris. Really professional and courteous man with a real passion for teaching what he loves. He always puts you first and always gives 100% to your development even if you're training at 10:00pm! I am still training at chesterfield jiujitsu and I intend on doing so for a long time.

I've been to jiu-jitsu school's in Sheffield & Chesterfield and I can honestly say, Chesterfield self-defence is the best, why, because the teaching methods are fantastic. I'm Spanish and my English is a little broken but for what ever reason Christopher seems to have the communication skills to help me learn and progress smoothly.History is big here and Christopher has great stories to tell and share about his experiences from meetings with the Valente Brothers & all the other Gracie's.If you want self defence, it's a must, confidence, it's a must.Now it's coming to Sheffield I can train more, big thank you Christopher and sorry if my English isn't perfect!

Chesterfield Jiu Jitsu is an excellent school for martial arts but also lifestyle. Whilst I student of Chris' I learnt jiu jitsu for the purpose of self defence and this gave me more confidence in every day life and also in dealing with different situations. This martial requires no strength but the skills which become addictive to learn. I also learnt about how to manage my diet better and overall the healthiest I have ever been has been a student here

I am very happy to have found such a good jiu jitsu school in Chesterfield. Christopher & Nicholas are both very skilled and very patient. They break each technique down into very tiny steps and what seems to be a hugely complicated move becomes suddenly simple. I am a fifty year-old woman and feel very welcome at the dojo and despite my lack of fitness after a five-year illness have felt nothing but encouragement. I trust them completely.
