BJJ in Manchester

12 bjj studios to discover.

Last updated

Manchester's Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene is relatively compact, with four established academies spread across distinct parts of the city. 13th Dimension Bjj in Higher Green and Salford Mixed Martial Arts in Lower Broughton represent two of the stronger-rated options, both holding near-perfect scores from their members. Franks Team Sports Club in Chorlton-on-Medlock takes a broader approach, running BJJ alongside boxing and MMA under one roof. Strangeways, perhaps better known for other reasons, is also home to Predators MMA and BJJ Academy Manchester. The studios are fairly dispersed rather than clustered in a single neighbourhood, so location is worth factoring in when choosing where to train. This page pulls together the key details on each academy to help you make a straightforward comparison.
