What Our Members Say

Real people from Lincoln. Here's what they found when they started training with us.

Scott ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The most welcoming friendly gym ever! Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and has a passion for teaching and is a great life long martial artist, I would recommend anyone of any age and gender to try bjj it’ll honestly make your life better."

Martin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Absolutely amazing place to train, I have been a member of the club for over a year now. Mark’s a fantastic instructor, really welcoming.

There’s no egos, as soon as you join you feel very welcome, you get the buzz and can’t stop talking about BJJ. Awesome way to lose weight as well, I’ve lost about 20 kilos since starting"

Eddie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I began the beginner's course at the start of this year 2023 ,and i love it !. Mark and the other coaches are friendly and take the time to explain techniques and why we are learning certain moves.

I leave the dojo feeling like i've achieved something for myself that evening.I would highly recommend anyone considering BJJ to choose here."

Jim ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Can't recommend this place highly enough. I met Mark as an absolute beginner with zero martial arts experience and was treated with the same respect that he gives his blue and purple belts.

Mark is an awesome teacher and this is a great place to learn. If you've ever even considered BJJ before get in touch with these guys and head down there to try it out, you won't regret it!."

Still unsure?

Still have questions? Here's what beginners usually ask before their first session.

Do I need experience to start ?

Not at all. Most of our new members are complete beginners. Our classes are beginner-friendly and you'll be guided through everything at your own pace.

What should I wear for my first session?

Just wear comfortable gym clothes, like a T-shirt and joggers or shorts. No need for a gi or any special gear for your first session.

Can I borow a Gi to get started?

Yes! We have spare Gis available for new starters. You're welcome to borrow one for your first few sessions while you're getting a feel for the classes.

We ask for a small £5 laundry fee per class to help cover cleaning costs.

After a couple of weeks, we encourage students to get their own Blue Gi, or you can purchase our starter pack which includes everything you need.

Is the first class really free?

Yes! Your first class is completely free, no catch. Just book in advance so we know you’re coming, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Do I need to be fit before I start?

Not at all. Most beginners feel unfit when they first walk in. BJJ builds your fitness naturally through movement, technique, and training at your own pace.

Do I have spar or roll straight away?

Nope. You’ll only start sparring when you're ready, and it’s always optional. We focus on learning first, and you're in control of your pace.

What are the class ages?

Our classes are for adults and teens (ages 14+). If you're unsure whether it's suitable, just drop us a message and we'll chat it through.

Do you offer memberships or pay as you go?

We offer flexible membership options. No contracts, no pressure. just train in a way that suits you.

I’m nervous about coming on my own - is that normal?

Completely normal. Most people start BJJ on their own. We’ll introduce you to a coach as soon as you arrive, pair you with supportive training partners, and make sure you feel settled from the very first minute.

What's the difference between BJJ and Combined Fighting Arts?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a ground-based martial art. You'll learn how to control, submit and defend yourself using technique and leverage rather than strength - most of the training happens on the mat. Combined Fighting Arts covers striking, Kali and Jeet Kune Do concepts, so it's more focused on stand-up skills, coordination and practical self-defence. Both classes are included in your membership and run on the same evenings, so most members train both.
