Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and Submission Wrestling
Bath Uni BJJ and Submission Wrestling is the largest and fastest-growing martial arts club at the University of Bath, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to experienced competitors.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling and wrestling-based combat sport focused on controlling and submitting an opponent using chokeholds and joint locks. We train in both Gi (traditional uniform) and No-Gi (rashguard and shorts), with an emphasis on sport Jiu-Jitsu that also develops practical self-defence skills.
Unlike many traditional martial arts, we place a strong emphasis on live sparring (rolling), allowing you to apply techniques against fully resisting training partners in a safe and controlled environment. This is one of the most effective ways to develop real skill, confidence and problem-solving ability.
Our training covers all aspects of a well-rounded BJJ game, including wrestling takedowns, guard passing, guard retention, sweeps, positional control, escapes and submissions.
Our club is home to professional competitors, hobbyists and complete first-timers, all training together in a supportive environment. We pride ourselves on being a humble, welcoming and inclusive club, where everyone is encouraged to learn, improve and enjoy the sport at their own pace, regardless of experience or goals.
This year, we are proud to be supported by Combat Sports Hygiene (CSH), the UK's leading provider of hygiene and skin defence products for combat sports. Their products are trusted by athletes, coaches and clubs across the country to help prevent common skin infections and keep training environments clean and safe. Through this partnership, our members benefit from access to industry-leading hygiene solutions and education, helping everyone stay healthy and spend more time on the mats.
