Our Story & Lineage

Falkie BJJ is a family-run academy built on a foundation of respect, discipline, and a direct connection to the founders of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Led by Father & Son

Falkie BJJ is led by the father-son coaching team of Darren and Oliver Falkingham. Darren, a black belt under Paul Hartley, founded the academy to create a welcoming yet disciplined environment for students of all levels. His passion for the art is shared by his son, Oliver, who has grown up on the mats, embodying the next generation of jiu-jitsu.

Together, they are dedicated to upholding the values of their lineage while fostering a modern, inclusive community in Preston and Leyland where every student can achieve their goals.
