Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Kickboxing in Billingshurst
Two world-class disciplines under one roof. Whether you want to grapple on the mats or strike on the pads, Nova Forca coaches kids and adults from total beginner to competitor.
Two martial arts, one gym
Choose your path — or train both. BJJ builds ground control and self-defence; kickboxing builds striking, fitness, and confidence. Both welcome complete beginners.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
The gentle art — leverage, control, and submission
BJJ is a ground-based grappling martial art built on technique over strength. You'll learn how to control an opponent, escape bad positions, and apply submissions — skills that work for self-defence and sport alike. We teach both Gi and No-Gi, from white belt to black belt.
- Gi & No-Gi classes
- Beginner-friendly fundamentals
- Competition preparation
- Belt progression pathway
Classes
Kids BJJ
Ages 6-12Fun, structured fundamentals — balance, coordination, anti-bullying skills, and the graduated belt system.
Adult BJJ (Gi)
Ages 14+Traditional Gi Jiu-Jitsu covering self-defence, positional control, and competition preparation.
Adult No-Gi BJJ
Ages 14+Faster-paced grappling without the Gi — clinch entries, leg entanglements, and modern submission game.
Open Mat
All levelsFree training time to drill, roll, and put technique into practice at your own pace.
Kickboxing
Dutch-style striking — hands, feet, and strategy
Our kickboxing programme blends Dutch-style kickboxing with boxing fundamentals to build powerful, technical striking. Through pad work, bag drills, and optional sparring, you'll develop fitness, timing, and confidence — whether your goal is self-defence, fitness, or the ring.
- Pad work & bag drills
- Optional sparring
- Strength & conditioning
- Fitness and self-defence
Classes
Kids Kickboxing
Ages 8-14An energetic introduction — fitness, coordination, respect, and safe supervised sparring.
Adult Kickboxing
Ages 14+Pad work, bag drills, and optional sparring. Suitable from complete beginner to competitive fighter.
Not sure which to start with? Most beginners try both in their first week — BJJ for ground skills, kickboxing for striking and fitness. Your free trial lets you sample any class, no commitment.
A welcoming martial arts home in Billingshurst, West Sussex
Billingshurst Mixed Martial Arts Nova Forca was founded to bring high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing to the Horsham and West Sussex community. We believe these two disciplines complement each other perfectly — BJJ gives you the ground game, kickboxing gives you the stand-up game, and together they build a complete martial artist.
Our coaching team holds recognised qualifications and DBS checks, and our classes are structured so complete beginners feel comfortable from their very first session — whether that first session is on the mats or on the pads. Your goal might be fitness, self-defence, competition, or simply trying something new. You'll find a place here.
- Beginner-friendly — no experience needed to start BJJ or kickboxing
- Qualified, DBS-checked coaching team across both disciplines
- Clean, matted facility with showers and changing rooms
- Tight-knit, supportive community with no egos
