About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Our Story
The BJJ Academy was founded by 2 x BJJ Black belts (Matt and Nick) who first met in 2006 whilst training under the renowned SBG (Straight Blast Gym) banner, under the tutelage of Karl Tanswell and Ian Bromley. During their time at SBG they found that they had a passion for the grappling arts which has continued to this day.
​
Over the years their passion for the grappling arts grew and grew and they found they had an insatiable appetite for knowledge surrounding the art. During there years of training, they have found themselves at different training facilities since moving away from SBG, working under different coaches, and experiencing many martial art styles which include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (GI and No-Gi), Submission Wrestling, free style, Greco roman wrestling, MMA, Thai Boxing and Boxing but they always found that they had a passion for BJJ and the grappling arts.
During a post training session discussion in 2022, our founders decided that the knowledge they have acquired and the passion they have for the grappling arts should be shared with like- minded enthusiasts, and so in 2023 the BJJ Academy was born!
