BJJ in Bristol
11 bjj studios to discover.
Last updated
Bristol's Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene is small but well-regarded, with four dedicated academies spread across the city and its surrounding areas. Rather than clustering in the centre, the options here sit in outer neighbourhoods: Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke serves the northern fringes, Impact Gym is based in Staple Hill and Mangotsfield to the east, and Checkmat BJJ Bristol operates out of Lawrence Weston in the west. All four academies currently hold a five-star rating. The spread means there is likely a viable option depending on which part of the city you are coming from. This page brings together the key details on each academy — location, contact information, and ratings — to help you compare what is available and find the right fit.
