Student Life, Jiu-Jitsu & Making a Change | Alfie’s Story

From Elements Martial Arts Haywards Heath

August 4, 2026

University life doesn’t always lead you into the habits you want.

When Alfie came to university at 19, he found himself partying more, drinking more and becoming less active.

Eventually, he wanted to make a change.

After repeatedly seeing Elements Martial Arts and Jiu-Jitsu on YouTube, he decided to try it.

What kept him coming back wasn’t just the physical training. It was the challenge, the variety of people he met and the experience of learning something completely new.

If you’re studying in Brighton and want to try something different, you can start with a FREE Student Intro Session at Elements Martial Arts Brighton.

Choose from:
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
MMA or Wrestling

No previous experience is needed, and complete beginners are welcome.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
