About Kumo

A modern academy built on fundamentals and respect

Kumo Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a place to train seriously and feel welcome doing it. Whether you are stepping onto the mats for the first time or have years of experience, our All Levels classes offer patient coaching, honest training partners, and a clear path to improve. The name "Kumo" means spider (in Japanese), reflecting a style of Jiu Jitsu built around strategy, patience and creating opportunities for opponents to walk into carefully constructed traps. More than a collection of techniques, Kumo represents a way of thinking about the art. At Kumo, success isn't measured only by medals or belts, but by the growth, confidence and progress of every person who steps onto the mats.

  • Technical instruction

    Clear, step-by-step coaching that turns complex techniques into skills you can actually use.

  • Respect & consistency

    A disciplined, supportive culture where showing up and training well matters more than ego.

  • Fitness & self-defence

    Build real strength, mobility, and composure while learning practical, proven self-defence.

  • Community

    Train alongside people who push you, look out for you, and make the academy feel like home.

    Laurence Irving has been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since 2010 and has spent more than a decade competing, coaching and studying the art. During that time he has competed throughout the UK and internationally, earning medals at IBJJF events at every belt level and testing his skills against some of the best competitors in the sport.
