Sean Roberts

Head Instructor

Sean has spent most of his life training multiple martial arts including Karate, Kempo Ryu, Kali, Muay Thai, Catch Wrestling, Savate, Krav maga, Aikido, JKD, Jun Fan and is a Level 1 coach in Boxing.

In 2012 a friend introduced him to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu which impressed him so much, he stopped training everything else. It wasn’t just it’s effectiveness and well structured system but the way it was delivered and the amazing friendly atmosphere it created, for him set it way above anything he had ever experienced.

After visiting The Gracie Academy (now Gracie University) in Los Angeles, he knew he wanted to bring that warm friendly training vibe to Leeds. Where people who really need Jiu-Jitsu in their life can get it in a comfortable and friendly environment.

In 2023 he became a certified instructor under Rener and Ryron Gracie, and now has the pleasure of delivering classes, bringing people together and making new friends at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Leeds.
