Straight Answer

Who travels in from Weston-super-Mare

Weston has a decent combat sports scene already, so people who come to us from there have usually done some striking — boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing — and want to add a grappling base.

If that is your background, expect the first few weeks to feel strange. Everything happens closer, slower and on the floor. It also means you will learn faster than you think once the positions start making sense.

Coach Chris is an England Boxing qualified coach as well as a BJJ brown belt, so there is someone here who speaks both languages.

Your Coach

Chris Last

Samurai Fitness is led by Chris Last — a former Royal Marine Commando with 24 years of service, and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt under the Chamberlain Brothers at the Roger Gracie Academy Bristol, where he remains part of the coaching team.

He has trained across the United States, Thailand and Brazil, and is a qualified PT, fitness instructor, coach and mentor. In practice that means classes are run properly: structured, safe, and with actual attention paid to whoever is newest in the room.
