Amazing club. Very welcoming and have a wealth of experienced practitioners to learn from. Family friendly too so if you have children, this is an excellent place for them to learn BJJ. Would highly recommend the club to beginners and higher belts alike!

I've been training at Swale BJJ for over 5 years and you honestly won't find a better club. Top class coaching by black belts Jon and Eduardo, great atmosphere, really friendly environment and regular social events. If you want to start learning BJJ, get fitter and make some new friends, there's honestly no place better
