Making Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu available to everyone
BJJ is a grappling martial art similar to judo or wrestling. It is growing fast in the UK, and has clear physical and mental health benefits, but can be expensive or seen as intimidating. Rise aims to change that!
At Rise Community Jiu-Jitsu we create affordable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu opportunities for anyone who wants to train and experience the life-changing benefits of BJJ.

Young people and adults taking part in Community Jiu Jitsu so far
CEO, youth charity:
“None of our young people had tried BJJ before and they all said they would love to have the opportunity to do more sessions. It’s a fun and interesting way to learn new skills, develop confidence and keep fit.”
Sean, young participant:
“It made me feel fit and healthy and made me feel in shape. It made me feel like I belong here. I really like it!”
Community Jiu-Jitsu Programmes
We run affordable BJJ programmes in friendly and familiar environments such as youth clubs and community centres, so that young people and adults can more easily access training. We are particularly focussed in deprived areas in London and Bristol.
We do this on a ‘pay it forward’ model. If you want to train, you can, regardless of circumstance. If you want to pay a bit more to enable someone else to train who otherwise couldn’t, you can!
Check out our Community Programmes page via the link below to find out more about what’s going on nationwide.
We use our expertise in the non-profit sector to support BJJ gym owners with establishing programmes for community benefit.
We advise on funding streams, resources, policies and procedures so gym owners are able to run affordable training sessions that suit them.
