Guildford BJJ Club is an excellent place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, especially for beginners like me. I had no prior experience in BJJ, but the head coach, Jon, made the learning process very accessible. His teaching style is clear, structured, and easy to follow, ensuring that newcomers can quickly grasp the fundamentals and build confidence on the mats. Beyond the quality coaching, the gym has a fantastic atmosphere. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and always willing to help if you have questions or need guidance. The training partners are not only skilled but also encouraging, making each session a great learning experience. Rolling with them has significantly improved my technique and understanding of BJJ. If you’re looking for a friendly yet challenging environment to train, Guildford BJJ Club is definitely worth checking out! 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

I started training at Guildford Jiu Jitsu after a 10 year absence from training. The club is really welcoming and I am so glad I found it. The head coach Jon has created a fantastic full time facility which also has a weight training section as well as showers. Jon is a brilliant coach and really engages with all of the students making them feel part of the club which in turn creates a great atmosphere. If you’re looking for somewhere to train in the Guildford area you will not be disappointed.
