Led by Dave, whose passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is contagious, Pulga BJJ caters to all levels, from hobbyists looking to stay fit and have fun, to competitors aiming for the highest podiums. What sets Pulga BJJ apart is its inclusive atmosphere. Kids classes are not just about learning martial arts; they're about building confidence and discipline in a supportive and fun environment.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym that appeals to those who wish to compete at the highest level and those who wish to do it as a hobby. All those who teach are vastly experienced and there is clear lineage back to the origins of BJJ in the Gracie family. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Pulga Jiu Jitsu Gym for some time now, and I can confidently say that it has been a life-changing experience. The instructors at Pulga are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in jiu jitsu, but they are also incredibly passionate about teaching and helping their students improve. The atmosphere at Pulga is welcoming and supportive, making it easy for beginners to feel comfortable and motivated to learn. The gym is clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need to train effectively. The classes are challenging yet fun, and I always leave feeling accomplished and energized. One of the things that sets Pulga apart from other gyms is the sense of community that is fostered here. Everyone, from the instructors to the fellow students, is friendly and encouraging, creating a positive and motivating environment to train in. Overall, I am extremely Proud to be a part of The Pulga Jiu Jitsu Family . It has not only helped me improve my jiu jitsu skills, but it has also helped me build confidence, discipline, and lasting friendships.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Pulga enough, if you were like me, a little anxious to get into Jiu Jitsu and have been thinking about it for some time, then Pulga is the place to be. Soon as I first walked into the gym I felt welcomed instantly, amazing set of people and Dave is a fantastic coach!

Fantastic experience: Best place to train BJJ in the North West. Dave is a brilliant coach and has competed at the highest level in the sport. You are learning off the best by training at Pulga, from beginner to advanced the gym atmosphere is great from day 1 you are part of the family.

Andrew Hill 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Pulga is not just a place to train; it's a second home where I've witnessed my skills soar over the past five years. As someone who started out as a novice on their intro course and now proudly wears a blue belt, I can confidently say that Pulga has played an instrumental role in my journey as a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. First and foremost, let's talk about the coaching. The level of instruction at Pulga is unparalleled. The coaches are not only highly skilled but also incredibly passionate about sharing their knowledge. Their dedication to each student's growth is evident in every class, whether you're a beginner like I once was or a seasoned competitor aiming for the next level. What truly sets Pulga apart is its diverse community. The gym welcomes individuals of all abilities, ages, and genders, creating a rich tapestry of talent and camaraderie. Training alongside people from varied backgrounds and skill levels has not only expanded my understanding of BJJ but also enriched my overall experience. If you just want to learn some skills for self-defence or set off on a journey to become a Black Belt you will find your place at the gym.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend this place enough, it’s genuinely changed my life. Both my daughters train here too and they love it, their confidence has shot up in everyday life due to BJJ. It’s a welcoming gym, everyone wants you to do well…..proper team environment. Dave’s a class coach and it shows the level of coaching by looking at the competitions he’s won, the other coaches are great too.

George Rowley (GWRowley) 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been training at the gym for around 4 years now starting off on one of the beginners courses the gym offers a couple times a year which was a great way to start, and have been training consistently since. The level of coaching and atmosphere at the gym is incredible, made some great friends training here and improved my fitness and lifestyle choices massively due to how fun and addicting the sport is. Great place to train jiu-jitsu for everyone whether you just want to train for fun and keep fit or have ambitions of competing couldn't recommend it enough, new starters also get a week free trial which is a nice touch and gives you no excuse not try it out.

Fantastic experience: Pulga jiu jitsu is a great place! I took my son and daughter there for a trial BJJ class and they absolutely loved it and, as a result, me and my kids are doing Jiu Jitsu now. My kids are training there full time with David and Katy and I go three times a week after work to do BJJ. I'm still learning and David is a great teacher and very professional. He is a qualified black belt under Lucio Sergio. The classes are great for me and my kids, can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: A great atmosphere....great gym and coaches! Highly recommend

Gayle Vose 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Me, my husband and my two children all learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Pulga and we absolutely love it! The gym itself is a great space to train in and everyone is so friendly, it feels like home from home. Our Professor David and coach Katy are fantastic at what they do and make it so easy to pick up. Not only is it good self defence but it is good for confidence building and fitness/weight loss and there are lots of local/national competitions that you can get involved in. If you’re contemplating trying it my advice is just go for it, you won’t regret it!

Mark Griffiths 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great team that is suitable for all levels of Jiu Jitsu. Trained here for 3/4 of a year and got me in much better shape as well as learning the sport.

James Woolfall 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you have ever felt daunted by walking into a martial arts style academy, then I'd invite you to reconsider. As soon as I'd set foot in Pulga JiuJitsu I was welcomed by all of the team and the Instructors who go the extra mile to make new members feel welcome and part of the team from the offset. Very family orientated with a vast, varied and expert knowledge, combined with the positive atmosphere make this bay far the best martial arts club I've ever trained at. My Daughter now trains here too and loves it and no doubt my son will be hitting the mats in the near future once he is old enough. Highly commendable, and a full 5 stars in all aspects of the club!!

Chris Smedley 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: After months of making excuses I finally joined Pulga in January. I've lost weight, my fitness has improved and most importantly I love training. The coaches, Dave and Katy, are very welcoming and are really helpful with everything from your first visit. The guys and girls that train at Pulga are really friendly, helpful and look after you. If you're reading this and considering starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (or any martial art) I would definitely recommend Pulga. I tried to train BJJ a few years back at an MMA gym and didn't receive anywhere near the amount of support or have the understanding training partners I have here. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner!

Maisie Rayton 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place for kids and adults to learn and all levels made to feel welcomed. Great atmosphere highly recommend to anyone wanting to lose weight get fit or learn jiu jitsu.

Bob Cat 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started training here quite recently and can honestly say it's the best move I ever made. It's a purpose built gym, the instructors make you feel welcome and is a great example of how a Brazilian jiu jitzu club should be run. All the pupils are friendly and has a great team ethos. There are kids and adults classes so all the family can come and train in a friendly and safe environment. 10/10 from me!
