The Base Academy Paris is a martial arts and combat sports club in Champlan, serving the Massy and Paris area. Founded in Melbourne, Australia, the academy now develops martial arts in France through classes for adults and children, welcoming all experience levels and fitness backgrounds. Its programme includes Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, English boxing, MMA, self-defence, and children’s Judo and kickboxing. The academy also offers women’s self-defence and BJJ, private lessons, seminars, and training camps.

Gracie Jiu-Jitsu instruction follows the principles of Rickson Gracie, with an emphasis on technical precision and practical effectiveness for self-defence and MMA. Classes cover skills such as distance management, control, leverage, throws, chokes, and joint locks; No-Gi training develops grappling without a uniform. The academy describes its values as sharing, teamwork, personal development, and technical excellence, and highlights potential benefits including fitness, discipline, confidence, and social connection. The Base is open 365 days a year, and the first class is free.
