Jiu Jitsu
K2 Gym offers some of the most established and respected Jiu Jutsu classes in Newquay, open to all levels — from total beginners to experienced grapplers and competitors.
Jiu Jitsu is one of the most effective martial arts in the world, made famous by Royce Gracie’s early dominance in the UFC. It’s now a core component of MMA and widely respected for its focus on leverage, submissions, and real-world self-defence.
Whether your goal is to compete, improve fitness, or learn a powerful form of personal discipline, our Jiu Jitsu Newquay program delivers lasting results in a supportive, competitive training environment. Training includes both Gi and No-Gi sessions, so you can develop skills in both styles.

Head Coach | Kids Program DirectorAs a gym, we’ve been training in Jiu Jitsu for over 20 years. Our coaches aren’t just instructors — they’re lifelong students of the art who continue to upskill, learn, and compete.
Coach Mark Thomas leads our Jiu Jutsu program and brings decades of experience, a deep knowledge of grappling, and a coaching style that challenges and inspires.
We regularly compete in events across the UK — but you don’t have to compete to benefit. Many of our members train for self-defence, personal growth, or to stay fit.
