About Saul
I’m Saul Joshua Abelson, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt with more than 25 years of martial-arts training and coaching experience. My background also includes black belts in Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, as well as experience in boxing and kickboxing.
I have coached everyone from complete beginners and young students to experienced practitioners, competitors and professional fighters. What matters to me is understanding the individual in front of me and adapting the coaching accordingly.
My approach is calm, technical and practical. I believe good coaching should build understanding, confidence and genuine ability rather than rely on intimidation or unnecessary intensity. Whether you are starting from scratch, returning after time away or trying to solve a specific technical problem, I aim to give you focused attention and coaching that fits your goals, experience and circumstances.

I teach Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through focused, individual coaching rather than a one-size-fits-all class format. Each lesson is built around your experience, goals, body, pace and the specific areas you want to improve.
A typical session starts by identifying what you need most, then moves into technical explanation, drilling, positional work and controlled live application where appropriate. I focus on helping students understand why techniques work, recognise problems and develop solutions they can actually use.
With more than 25 years of martial-arts training and coaching experience and black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo and Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, I bring a broad technical perspective to each student.
Lessons are suitable for complete beginners, existing practitioners, competitors, returning students and those who prefer a more private, adaptable approach to learning.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I cannot recommend Saul strongly enough. I have trained with a lot of different people, but Saul is one of those rare coaches who understands that good training is about more than simply teaching technique.
From the outset, he was extraordinarily accommodating of my circumstances and consistently went out of his way to make training workable. At the same time, he was completely discreet. I never felt that I had to explain more than I wanted to, nor that anything discussed or observed would become anyone else's business.
He has earned my trust and my respect. Saul's gentle, polite and professional demeanour earns both naturally. He is calm, intelligent, patient and highly attentive to the person he is training rather than simply running through a syllabus.
Saul and Chacma-BJJ have provided an unusually positive training environment for me, and I am genuinely grateful for all his time, patience and expertise. For anyone looking for serious Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction from someone with both competence and character, I would recommend Saul without reservation.See more recommendations
