Raising the standard in grappling and performance

Raising the standard in grappling and performance

The main training hall at Stoa Grappling in Moorgate, with white mats and a gold border

Stoa is a grappling and performance club built to raise the standard of every individual who steps on the mats, whether it's your first class or your next competition.

We're a Brazilian jiu jitsu gym at our core, combining other forms of grappling including wrestling and judo through a structured curriculum to help create strong and well-rounded athletes.

Performance training and recovery sit alongside everything we do, because how you move and recover off the mat shapes how you perform on it.

OUR TEAM

Igor Terreco – Founder, Grappling Head Coach

I got into Jiu-Jitsu through a friend, and it took me everywhere. Competing, teaching, learning wrestling and judo along the way. Years on the mats showed me how commercial gyms get it wrong: rigid systems, poor communication, penalising people for real-life delays.


Stoa is my answer: structure where it counts, flexibility where it matters.

Rob Hayward – Founder, Grappling Instructor, S&C Head Coach


A lifelong martial artist with a career spent running gyms, I bring the operations so Igor can build something exceptional. On the mats, I coach and lead strength & conditioning. Off them, I hold our space and community to the same standard we hold our technique.

Rob Hayward, founder, grappling instructor and strength and conditioning coach at Stoa Grappling
