Home | J 2 Online

I'm Jacob, owner of J2 strength and defence, and I strive to help my clients reach their health and fitness goals in an enjoyable and sustainable way. With 20 years of competition experience in judo and jiujitsu, a brief stint at Olympic Weightlifting, as well as being a master trainer for David Lloyd, I have the knowledge and experience to help anyone achieve their goals.

My passion is to serve my clients and help them become their best selves.

What we offer

At J2 we have a range of services from strength and conditioning, gymnastic-style movement and flow, to Jiu Jitsu specific coaching.

These are delivered in either 1:1 or 1:2 PT sessions or group workshops and seminars. 1:1 or 1:2 PT sessions will be bespoke to the individual's needs, while group workshops and seminars will be published regularly and open to all levels.

1:1 or 1:2 PT

PT sessions can either be delivered online or in-person at your home or at Playfair Jiu Jitsu in Edinburgh.

Sessions will be tailored to your specific needs, be that general strength and conditioning to combat sport specific strength supplementation.
