AmsterdamBJJ is a friendly and dedicated team of both hobbyists and competitors. The school of NOC*NSF nationally recognised BJJ trainer/coach Raoul Hiwat is affiliated with the Rickson Gracie International Jiu-Jitsu Association, led in the Netherlands by Harold Harder.


“Jiu-Jitsu taught me to have respect for the people around me as well as respect for myself. It made me believe in my own strengths and knowledge.”
Rickson Gracie

“Jiu Jitsu is perfect. It’s humans who make errors.”
“Competition Jiu-Jitsu represents only 30% of real Jiu-Jitsu. Without the other 70%, which includes standup self-defense, defensive striking and clinching skills and an efficient vale-tudo guard, practitioners cannot develop the confidence to walk the streets knowing that they can survive a possible confrontation.”
Rickson Gracie
