Discover Your Potential at KODA:MA

A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sanctuary built on community, high-level technicality, and personal growth.

Public launch June 3rd 2026 at Angmering Community Centre


Launching June 3rd, 2026 at Angmering Community Centre.

We are planting our roots in a stunning space, the perfect environment for technical mastery, community, and holistic growth.

A World-Class Foundation

We’ve invested in the best foundation possible to protect our Allies and elevate your training:

  • The Surface: 40mm Fuji Tatami mats—the same elite surface used by the world’s top academies.

  • The Support: Our mats are housed on a spacious wood sprung floor, providing unparalleled impact protection and joint safety.

  • The Culture: An ego-free, open, and accessible environment focused on technical growth and modern coaching methods.

Designed for Focus and Comfort

  • The Environment: Bathed in natural light and framed by acoustic panels, the space is calm and quiet. You’ll hear every detail of instruction without the warehouse echo.

  • Climate Control: No more freezing winter rolls or stifling summer heat. With underfloor heating and full air conditioning, the mats remain at the perfect temperature year-round.

  • The Vibe: An integrated professional sound system provides the backdrop—our signature mix of lo-fi beats, Latin, and alternative music.

  • Stress-Free Access: Ample on-site parking means your training starts the moment you arrive.

Beyond the Mats

  • Community First: We believe in the "Ally" connection. Join our Monthly Club Socials to talk Jiu-Jitsu over dinner and a few drinks.

Founding 30 Benefits:

  • Lifetime Rate Lock: Become a founder and lock in a 'Founder Rate' that stays with you for as long as we are at our Angmering home. Your rate will be cheaper than the public membership rates.

  • Legacy: If you want it to be, your name will be added within the roots on the club banner.

  • Gear: A custom limited edition rashguard

  • Pre-launch: Matt christening session before the academy opens, then some food and drinks with the other members!

“I’m building KODA:MA because I want a place where the art of Jiu-Jitsu becomes a pathway to holistic wellness. I want a gym that feels like a sanctuary, a space to explore the limits of my potential as a coach and practitioner of the Gentle Art."
