7 bjj studios to discover.
Last updated
Nottingham has a small but well-established Brazilian jiu-jitsu scene, with five dedicated training spaces spread across the city and its surrounding neighbourhoods. Rather than clustering in the city centre, the academies are distributed across areas including Woodthorpe, Radford, and Gedling, which means most residents are within reasonable reach of a mat. Roll Deep BJJ Nottingham and Fortress Jiu Jitsu both hold perfect five-star ratings, while Breakthrough Grappling in Radford and Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu UK in Beechdale serve their respective communities with structured programmes. The spread reflects how grappling sports have grown steadily outside the city core. This page brings together the key details on each academy — location, ratings, and what each one offers — to help you find the right place to train.
