I've been staying in Leicester for a couple of weeks for business, where I also had the chance to step into Leicester Shootfighters and meet the coaches and the team. I never felt I'd missed my team and my home as the team and the coaches at Leicester Shootfighters have been super welcoming and friendly to me. Also, I had really good training sessions with them. I know for sure where to go for bjj training and wrestling next time. Highly recommended 🫶🤼♂️🤼♂️🔥🙌

Visited here for a bjj session whilst working in the area. A welcoming place and great atmosphere. I can honestly say I learnt something from just one class that’ll stick with me on my journey. Would recommend to anyone from beginner to expert.

I first stepped into Leicester Shootfighters back in 2016 and trained there for about a year before relocating to a different city forced me to switch gyms. I loved training at the gym, and appreciated the solid foundation I gained in martial arts. Over the years, I've kept up training, including a year spent abroad at some top gyms in Southeast Asia. In 2024 I returned to LSF for about six weeks, and found the gym has gone from strength to strength. Coaches Nathan, Karl, and Luke each ran sessions that rival some of the best I've experienced anywhere. If you're serious about martial arts, LSF is definitely worth checking out. Highly recommended.
