Last updated
North Shields and its surrounding neighbourhoods have a small but established Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene, with four studios spread across areas including Percy Main, Heaton, and The Lawe. Percy Main accounts for two of those options, both operating under the Serenity name — Serenity Jiu Jitsu holds a 4.9-star rating and sits alongside its sister club Serenity Bjj. Across the river in The Lawe, SBG South Shields MMA, Kickboxing & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu carries a perfect 5.0 rating, as does Alliance Jiu Jitsu Newcastle, based in Heaton. The clubs vary in their broader offering, with some focusing purely on grappling and others embedding BJJ within a wider combat sports programme.
