I took some time off the mats due to health reason and i was welcomed back to where I first started my bjj journey. Union bjj has a great atmosphere esp for people like myself that gets anxious in certain environments everyone who attends help eachother out. If your looking to get fit and disciplined in a environment that has no pressures union bjj is definitely a good place to start..

A great bjj gym with friendly members and excellent coaches. Would recommend for people looking for gyms in Manchester, whether they’re beginners or experienced.

I've been at Union Academy Manchester for about 2.5 years. Started out in the girls only class and moved into the mixed. I do the jiujitsu classes but have seen a lot of the kickboxing too. It's great vibes and everyone's so welcoming. The coaches are helpful and very patient! I've made some friends for life at this club and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I started at Union last year as a complete beginner, wanting to learn BJJ. When I walked in, everyone was so friendly and welcoming and a year later, the atmosphere is still the same. The coaches are helpful and patient, which creates a great learning environment. They monitor everyone’s individual progress and tell you specifically what to focus on to improve. For the time I spend at training, I get really good value for money and would definitely recommend it!

I attended a brilliant seminar which was hosted at Union Academy and..what a beautiful culture John has cultivated. Their warmth & hospitality are second to none. For the absolute beginner to the seasoned martial artist, this place..has that rare magic that is missing in most other clubs. I urge you to visit, not just for the depth of technique but to experience the vibe. They have the secret sauce :)
