Instructor Stuart

Stu started training in Martial arts at the age of 11. He started off originally in Judo training until he reached the age of 16.

Throughout adulthood, Stu has trained in various martial arts including Kickboxing, Kung fu and Mixed Martial Arts.

It was during one of these MMA sessions where he was first introduced to the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu by a visiting instructor who would eventually become the one to promote him from White belt, to Blue belt to Purple belt, and to Brown belt Via one of his Black Belts.

Stu started to train solely in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in September 2013 and has been on the mats consistently ever since.

Stuart’s aim for the club is to continue to create a welcoming atmosphere for everyone to train hard and to feel like they are part of Roger Gracie Academy Leicester.
