4 mma studios to discover.
Last updated
Bristol's MMA scene is small but well-regarded, with three dedicated studios spread across distinct parts of the city. Rather than clustering in the centre, the options are distributed across neighbourhoods including Bedminster to the south, Bradley Stoke to the north, and Staple Hill and Mangotsfield to the east. All three studios currently hold a five-star rating: Gracie Barra Bradley Stoke brings a globally recognised Brazilian jiu-jitsu and MMA lineage to the northern fringes, Bristol Dojo serves the Bedminster community, and Impact Gym anchors the eastern side of the city. Class formats, membership structures, and coaching backgrounds vary between them, so it's worth comparing before committing. This page brings together the key details on each studio to help you find the right fit.
