Black Country Jiu Jitsu is a gym I truly wish I lived closer to.

Dave, the head coach, has a passion for the art of Jiu Jitsu that’s infectious—it spreads from the top down, through the upper belts, right into the fundamentals class. The result is an environment that both encourages excellence and maintains a welcoming atmosphere. It’s like the cool gang at school you desperately wanted to be a part of—but here, everyone is welcome as long as they’re willing to work hard.

Team spirit, progression, and (sometimes brutal) honesty are what you’ll find on an industrial estate in Stourbridge. If that appeals to you, get in for your trial class ASAP.

If it doesn’t, there’s probably a GB down the road or something.
