About Us    

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1997, Bindner Academy established the first Jiu-jitsu school in the London/Middlesex region, led by it’s founder Derek Bindner.

OUR PURPOSE & MISSION

To build confidence, skill and strength of mind, body and spirit in every student, through the art of Jiu-jitsu as a holistic self-protection and wellness lifestyle.

OUR GOAL

Preserving the martial art of Jiu-jitsu to all students in a safe, clean and welcoming environment, while treating everyone with respect, kindness, and dignity.

WHAT WE DO

We teach the art of Jiu-jitsu as a self-protection and wellness training program that improves physical, mental, spiritual and emotional fitness. No matter your experience or fitness level, we invest in you fully, and together, we will realize your greatest potential. 

WHY WE DO IT

Jiu-jitsu is our passion, and we want to share it with you! We believe in people, we value people, and know that life favours the prepared in mind, body and spirit. The world is chaotic and unpredictable and has no referees.

 

HOW WE DO IT

Through personal and group lessons, we deliver a Jiu-jitsu education using a highly structured, comprehensive, and separately designed curriculum for kids and adults, taking them from beginner white belt to black belt and beyond. When we teach, we want every class to reflect our best selves. We treat every class like it is the most important lesson we will ever teach. 

​

OUR SUCCESS

Since 1997, our success and significance comes from the power of invitation, word of mouth, and the culture of excellence that we value and up-hold. Our community is our true treasure.​

LET OUR PASSION INSPIRE YOU!
