Gripper Jiu Jitsu

Fantastic experience: Great place to train hight lvl technique and sparring

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Gripper Jiu Jitsu enough, if you’re on the fence give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I joined Gripper 6 months ago and would highly recommend it to anybody looking to begin their BJJ journey / anyone considering switching gyms and want to train at a world class facility. I came to Gripper with 2 years experience under my belt (a white one!) having trained at another establishment all that time. I have to admit I was anxious about the move because id only trained at the one place since starting BJJ, and wasn't sure if I would feel like a bit of an impostor, but I couldn't have been more wrong. The coaches and the other members of the team were all very accepting of me as a newcomer, and I was immediately made to feel part of the team. The only downside is id like to be able to train more than I can! (that's a work / life balance issue, not Grippers!).

Fantastic experience: Absolutely class gym, top level instruction and very welcoming. If you want 10/10 takeaway recommendations and world class jiu jitsu. This is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching. Great group of lads. Always pushing eachother to improve.

Fantastic experience: Raise your BJJ and fitness level at the best club in the region

Fantastic experience: Gripper was my first introduction to martial arts, I was nervous prior to joining but the team and coaches were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. Superb coaching and a great atmosphere, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I've trained at a few gyms, but this one stands out on every level. The coaching here is truly world-class — whether you're a complete beginner or chasing competition gold, the instruction is clear, technical, and constantly evolving. You’re not just learning moves here; you’re learning how to think, troubleshoot, and grow on the mats. The membership options are super flexible, which makes it easy to stay consistent even with a hectic schedule. Whether you want to train every day or just a few times a week, there’s something that fits. What really sets this place apart, though, is the culture. Expect quality banter, plenty of laughs, and a tight-knit team that pushes each other to be better. But make no mistake — the rounds are hard. You'll leave every session sweaty, tested, and sharper than before. It’s the perfect balance between good vibes and serious work. If you're looking for a gym that takes your progress seriously without all the pressure, then this is it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic BJJ gym with top-level coaching and an amazing atmosphere. The instructors are incredibly skilled and patient, breaking down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand for all levels. Training is tough but always filled with good laughs, making every session something to look forward to. A perfect balance of serious learning and great vibes – highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, super friendly and welcoming atmosphere and top notch training. Starting as a beginner I felt myself improving every session with the level of people on the mats. After having some time off cannot wait to get back! Would recommend to anyone looking for a gym!

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable place to train, fantastic knowledge and great guys all helping each other progress

Fantastic experience: My experience with Gripper Jiu-Jitsu has been excellent. Lloyd is a super coach—he covers everything, from beginners’ fundamentals to advanced competitors. I started training with Lloyd right after I decided to learn more leg locks—he’s one of the best in Europe. But he doesn’t just teach techniques; he teaches mindset, weight cuts, brotherhood—everything you need. The man’s super busy, but still finds time to support everyone, including his family. The gym also has other coaches who bring loads of experience and different skill sets. Cal does an amazing job with the kids’ program, and Curtis turns beginners into competent machines in no time. The community is unmatched—everyone’s nice and friendly. Join today, and bring everyone you know!

Fantastic experience: Gripper Jiu Jitsu is an outstanding gym with top-notch instructors who foster a welcoming and supportive environment. The classes are well structured, focusing on technique, progression, and fitness. It is a fantastic place for anyone to train, regardless of ability. I highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Coaches and students are all lovely individuals but honestly I don’t even like Jiu Jitsu, I just go for the in depth discussions on Chinese takeaways

Fantastic experience: 3 years training somewhere else and starting at Gripper was like starting again….. unbelievable level of coaching from all coaches. Hard, tough rounds that make visiting any other gym feel easy. Join… best decision you’ll make

Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone, very welcoming and friendly environment. The coaches are great and offer something for all abilities.

Fantastic experience: I’ve known and trained with Lloyd for 12 years and he’s been a personal friend for a very long time, his coaching is second to none along with the rest of the coaches, the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a BJJ gym- full of like minded people improving each day.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train, the coaches are top notch and super professional and the community of people are really welcoming and helpful, which as a beginner I cannot ask more. I highly recommend checking it out.

Fantastic experience: I've tried training at multiple jiujitsu gyms around the area and none have been at the standard of gripper. The lessons are simple enough to understand every movement and complex enough to leave me confident in my ability. The open mat rolling has been a great place to use what I have learned with a range of different abilities

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at Gripper Jiu Jitsu for nearly 10 years. Dispite growing significantly in recent years, the coaches remain personally invested in each students growth and development. World class coaching, top level facilities and an incredible training atmosphere all contibute to making this the best gym in the area.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! High level on the mat, but also plenty of room for beginners. The coaches have in depth knowledge of jiujitsu and are great to learn from. All caped off with a brilliant atmosphere.

Negative experience: The Founder/Owner had some interesting comments. Parents: Is this who you want teaching your kids to be disciplined adults? Make a public apology like a MAN. own up to it, changing your attitude, and I'll delete it. Instead of just running and blocking me like you probably do every time you say something like that online.

The atmosphere is inviting, and you can feel the sense of brotherhood among members. The coaches are true experts in their craft. Their knowledge of Jiu Jitsu is unparalleled, and they are dedicated to helping every student reach their full potential. The instruction is top-notch, and they create an environment that is both challenging and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! The coaches openness to share their wealth of knowledge and experience in Jiu jitsu is honourable. The guys in the gym are great. High level on the mat. Welcoming, helpful and push you whatever your level. A great community to be a part of.
