Our Philosophy

At Knots & Collar, we believe in Kindness Over Toughness. Our philosophy centers on the idea that strength comes not from rigid toughness, but from the compassion and understanding we extend to others. Whether it’s the technique that we teach or the relationships we build, we embrace kindness as the core of our approach. We strive to foster a world where empathy and care are the true markers of strength — one knot, one collar, one thoughtful gesture at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Delhi?
Knots & Collar is a dedicated BJJ and martial arts studio at A-269, Second Floor, Defence Colony, New Delhi. We offer Gi BJJ, No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, Kids Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing and Fitness classes seven days a week, morning and evening, in the heart of South Delhi. Your first class is always free.
Who teaches BJJ at Knots & Collar?
All programmes run under Professor Binish Sukhija, a BJJ Black Belt in the De La Riva lineage — promoted by Professor Waqar Ahmad, a black belt under Grandmaster Ricardo de la Riva. The lineage is fully transparent and verifiable, built on nearly 17 years of martial arts experience across some of India's most demanding training environments.
What is the difference between Gi and No-Gi BJJ?
Gi BJJ is practised in the traditional uniform, using grips on the jacket and trousers — technical, patient, and methodical. No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu is practised in a rashguard and shorts, faster-paced and closer to wrestling. At Knots & Collar we teach both, seven days a week, and most students eventually train both styles as part of a complete BJJ game.
Is there a free trial BJJ class in Delhi?
Yes. Your first class at Knots & Collar is completely free, with no commitment required. Wear comfortable workout clothes — no gi needed for your first session. Call +91-9717956687 or book your free trial class online to get started.
What age can children start Jiu-Jitsu in Delhi?
Children can start Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from age 3 at Knots & Collar. Our Kids Jiu-Jitsu programme runs Monday to Saturday, structured by age group, and is built around one outcome: quiet, genuine confidence — teaching children to stay calm under pressure and protect themselves without aggression.
Is BJJ effective for women's self-defence?
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective self-defence systems available to women, because it is built entirely on the principle that technique and leverage overcome size and strength — not the other way around. Knots & Collar has a strong, growing women's community training in a safe, respectful, judgment-free environment in Defence Colony.
