# Kent Grapple - Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy
Kent Grapple is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy based in Sittingbourne, Kent, offering expert-led coaching across all experience levels. The academy serves adults, women, and children who want to learn BJJ, from complete beginners through to competition-ready athletes.
What sets Kent Grapple apart is their exceptional coaching team: four black belt instructors including owner Jon Jarvis, complemented by elite brown belts. This depth of expertise ensures high-quality instruction across their extensive class timetable—seven days per week—with no gaps in training opportunities. Their welcoming community atmosphere actively encourages newcomers, reflected in their two-week free trial with no prior experience required.
The academy distinguishes itself through specialised class formats. They offer dedicated Gi and No Gi grappling classes at varying times to suit different schedules, early morning sessions for committed practitioners, and a separate dedicated kids programme led by brown belt Nathan Shepherd. Open Mat sessions on weekends provide additional unstructured training time. This variety means members can train multiple times weekly and progress systematically.
Kent Grapple markets itself as Kent's fastest-growing BJJ team, emphasising their philosophy of "Train Hard. Grow Fast" and building real skills in a supportive environment. Their accessible entry point via the free trial removes barriers to participation, whilst their competitive credentials and black belt instruction appeal to serious athletes pursuing advancement.
