About this academy

Artez BJJ quite literally started in a garage with 16 mats on the floor and a few more strategically placed around the room for safety. Being such a small room, only two people would be rolling at any one time; those that were waiting their turn had the opportunity to watch and discuss the Jiu-Jitsu being performed in front of them. Our small community began to slowly grow, we were itching to get more time on the mat in a bigger space that catered to the size of our team and so the thought of a new gym loomed over us for some time... and here we are.

Fantastic club with great coaches who are always welcoming and approachable. They'll take the time to really go through techniques with you and I always feel like I can ask questions if I'm stuck on something. Everyone who goes is friendly and the atmosphere is built towards learning and enjoyment. There are plenty of opportunities for putting what you have learnt into practice with the sparring classes. The open mat is also well worth doing and is a good time to train and learn from the coaches and other students. Would highly recommend, 10/10!

I can’t recommend Artez BJJ in Rotherham highly enough! As someone who had no prior experience with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, joining this gym has been a life-changing journey for me - both physically and mentally. From day one, the atmosphere has been incredibly welcoming. The instructors are top-notch, not only in their technical knowledge but in how they teach - breaking down complex moves in a way that’s easy to understand, even for beginners. The classes are well-structured, with a great mix of drilling, technique, and live sparring, so there’s always something new to learn and all learning styles are catered for. In addition to the regular classes, I’ve also had the privilege of taking private tuition here. The one-on-one sessions have been a game-changer for my progression, allowing me to focus on specific techniques and receive more tailored feedback. It’s been incredibly beneficial in helping me fine-tune my skills and build confidence at a much faster rate. The personal attention in these sessions makes all the difference. On a personal level, training here has given me a new level of confidence and strength. I’ve seen major improvements in my fitness, but the biggest change has been mental. The discipline and focus BJJ requires have helped me manage stress better, stay calm under pressure, and feel more resilient in all areas of life. The community is fantastic too - whether you're brand new or more experienced, everyone supports each other. It’s more than just a gym; it’s like being part of a family where you’re encouraged to push your limits, but also given the space to grow at your own pace. If you’re thinking of trying BJJ, or are looking for a place to train in South Yorkshire, this is where you want to be. You’ll leave every class feeling stronger, more focused, and part of something truly special!
