Welcome to Playfair Jiu Jitsu, we are Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in Merchiston Edinburgh offering BJJ, Submission Grappling and Kickboxing classes. BEGINNERS - we welcome beginners with open arms - All levels are welcome here at our gym in Edinburgh, you will be training with mixture of fellow beginners and more advanced players with the primary goal being to build a foundational understanding of the positional elements that are vital to BJJ. The variety of techniques covered include a full range of self defense and martial arts movements focused efficiently and safely controlling an individual. Your fitness and overall strength will be vastly improved regardless of any prior training due to the unique and fun positions taught. In addition to this you will learn how to submit your opponent with limb/arm locks and choke-hold techniques. The most important lesson you will learn from the start will be how to safely takedown/control an opponent from standing all the way to the ground, this includes learning how to "breakfall" - a set of techniques that allow a person to transition from standing to the ground without fear of injury.

I've been training at this gym for about a month, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches are fantastic, giving new members like me a lot of attention and valuable advice. They really take the time to ensure you understand the techniques, which makes learning feel very comfortable. The atmosphere is amazing—everyone is friendly, supportive, and welcoming to newcomers. It’s a great place to train, push your limits, and feel part of a community. Highly recommended!
