Adult BJJ Gi classes teach how to use the traditional gi for grips, throws, and submissions. The sessions focus on technique, leverage, and strategy, blending standing and ground-based grappling while incorporating traditional BJJ self-defence techniques.

The curriculum includes wrestling takedowns, submission techniques, and foot locks. Our beginner-friendly courses ensure a smooth introduction to no-gi grappling.

Went to train at Matrix Martial Arts as I was on holiday. Professor Newman met me and taught an amazing lesson. The academy is modern, a high standard of cleanliness and has very good air conditioning. I felt welcomed by the students and the teaching staff. The lesson Prof Newman taught was very thorough with his curriculum and he was happy to answer questions. If I could rate Matrix Martial Arts with more stars I would. This place isn’t one to miss.Posted on Google Sem DikTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On holiday in Spain. Looked for a gym and found Matrix, gym is clean and has airco. We were welcome to train. The professor Steve is a great coach with loads of knowledge. Even tho we went there during our holiday he paid great attention to us. Rolls were respectful and the level was good. Would recommend it to everyone! 👍🏼Posted on Google Walther RozaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my brother in law are in vacation here in spain and wanted to get some training in the vacation. I got in contact with Steve and we were welcome to come and train. We went to the open mat and it was free. The coach is great and very knowledgeable and was very happy to help and give tips/advice. Especially with the kimura Steve is filled with knowledge. The gym has AC and is very clean. It gets mopped after every class so the hygene is very good. Furthermore the whole atmosphere was very good. Everbody was chill and wanted to roll. I had a great experience and I’m definitely coming back. 10/10 would recommend everybody to check this gym out.

Dennis started training martial arts in 2014. He started with Wing chun and Escrima. After a few years he saw that there was a Jiu-jitsu school in his town (Matrix) and he made the decision to start training Jiujitsu under Professor Steve Newman. When he started he didn’t really know what Jiujitsu was and only had the idea that it was ground fighting. As he was training he liked it more and more every day and I got totally hooked leaving Wing chun and Escrima aside. Dennis is currently a purple belt and instructor at Matrix. Dennis teaches the 7am class and would love you to try his class.
Dennis’s goals are to improve his jiujitsu and compete to put his skills to the test and grow.
Professor Steve has been training, learning and teaching martial arts for many years. He still trains hard everyday to make sure he is the best he can be and to be the best possible instructor.
Head instructor and owner of Matrix Martial Arts, Steve achieved his Black Belt in Brazilian JiuJitsu from Mastre Sylvio Behring in 2016
