  The Most Fun You Can Have Getting Tied in Knots If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be a human pretzel and love every second of it, Alton Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the place for you! Walking in, I thought, “How hard can this be?” Fast forward 30 minutes, and I’m tapping out faster than I can say “armbar.” The coaches here are absolute legends—not only do they know their stuff, but they also manage to make learning grappling techniques hilariously fun. They somehow strike the perfect balance between teaching you how to defend yourself and making you laugh so hard you almost forget you're sweating buckets. The community is fantastic too—everyone’s super supportive, whether you're a complete newbie (like me) or someone who’s secretly auditioning for a UFC career. No egos, just good vibes and lots of encouragement. I’ve learned so much, including the fact that being "mounted" is not as glamorous as it sounds and that shrimping isn’t just a seafood term. If you're thinking about joining, do it! You’ll gain skills, fitness, confidence—and maybe a few bruises that make for great stories. Alton BJJ, you’ve officially made me a fan for life. Thanks for teaching me how to survive a chokehold with a smile on my face!

  Started doing Jiu Jitsu about 10 months ago here in Alton and I'm so glad that this was my first experience of it! The instructors here are very knowledgeable and are able to get that across through clear instructions, making sure that everyone (from beginners to advanced) understand what they're doing and why they're doing it too. All the members here create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and you'll always have a laugh. P.S. if you're in the mood for some 'high quality photoshop' content, then the Alton BJJ Facebook chat is the place to be

  I have been training at Alton BJJ for 6 months now and couldn't ask for better instructors. There is a really good atmosphere at the club and people are always supportive of your own personal jiu jitsu goals!

  I joined Alton Bjj 8 months ago, I was shy and wasn’t very good at socialising with people, but ever since I joined I’ve become more confident person. Everyone is really kind and always happy to help and if you’re a slow leaner the coaches are always willing to go Through things with you. If your somebody who wants to learn how to fight and become a stronger more confident person alton bjj is the place !!!!

  BJJ might seem intimidating at first, the skills gap insurmountable, and the physicality too demanding. BUT if there is anywhere that is going to make this seem achievable and within your reach, it's Alton BJJ. Quality instructors, encompassing curriculum, keen class mates, and your willingness to learn will make your BJJ journey something you want to do, not a chore.
