It is so fun and everyone is super supportive and help you if you get stuck on something and it's super easy to make new friends
It has been an enjoyable experience, I would rate it 5 star and would definitely recommend it to family and friends , my son is still there 😀 the customer service and care is amazing, thank you for your service and time.
We had a really lovely experience here. Although my son decided jiu-jitsu wasn’t for him, it had nothing to do with the place. From the very beginning, everyone was so welcoming and friendly. The trainers were always patient, supportive, and took the time to help him whenever he struggled, which really meant a lot. Thank you all for making us feel so welcome. We’d definitely recommend going to anyone looking for a friendly and supportive place to go. ☺️
Extremely welcoming, clean and organised! Coaches always have time and patience to explain, often going above and beyond to teach valuable life lessons. Great team and culture, thank you!
I first attended Craig's gym in the winter of 2018 after a very embarrassing introduction to mma, in which I was taken down and submitted countless times each class. I found this very frustrating as my grappling knowledgeable, at that point, did not extend beyond the muay thai clinch. My uncle, who had trained under Craig for a number of years, suggested I try out BJJ - at what was Gracie Barra Bradford at the time. My time spent under his tuition has been inconsistent at times through the years, as I do also enjoy studying other martial arts, but not a single minute has felt wasted when i attend Dream Art BJJ. Whenever I feel like I want to improve my grappling skills, touch base with martial arts again, or I am seeking some stability and control in my personal life, I have always returned to this BJJ school. The instruction is world-class from all of the coaches, but the level of mutuality and community between the participants is even more impressive. I will forever be a student of this school and inspired by the guiding principles set out under Craig's leadership.
I Joined Dream Art Bradford late 2025, my experience so far is essentially the following… The instructors are great, the classes are great and the community is full of genuinely really nice and helpful people, the classes are a great fit for everybody from newbies right up to competitive grapplers and everything in between. The club is clean and has a good amount of mat space especially having solid facilities across two main rooms. The pricing of the club is really excellent and is really affordable for BJJ but without comprising on the quality of the facilities or instruction which is really rare, for me there are not any negatives and even if there were any I have no doubts Craig would address them anyway! Tldr: Great club, great guys, affordable, come try for yourself
I’ve trained in quite a few BJJ clubs and other martial arts gyms over the years, and I can honestly say there is nowhere quite like Dream Art Bradford. The energy in this place is something special and you feel it the moment you walk through the door. Craig is simply in a class of his own when it comes to teaching. Whether he’s working with adults or kids, his coaching style is clear, patient and incredibly effective. What stands out most to me is his integrity - he truly cares about what he does and about the people he teaches. He’s exactly the right person in the right place. You can also see that he never stops learning himself, constantly developing his own skills and bringing that knowledge back to the students. Sam brings a huge amount of warmth to the club and helps create a genuinely welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Together, Craig and Sam have built something that feels more than just a gym - it feels like a community. If you’re looking for a place to train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, whether you’re a complete beginner or experienced, I honestly couldn’t recommend Dream Art Bradford highly enough. The level of coaching, the atmosphere and the people here make it truly exceptional.
As a parent, nothing matters more than your child. So finding the right environment for them is everything. This club strikes the perfect balance between being challenging and safe. Craig has built one of the best BJJ clubs in the UK for both adults and children. The coaching, atmosphere, and standards are all top level. What really stands out is how open he is to feedback. As a parent, that means a lot. Any small concerns we’ve had have always been listened to and handled with care. I’d highly recommend this club!
I started training at Dream art Bradford Brazilian jujitsu school in order to improve my mental health surrounding self defence, it has been the best decision I ever made. I’m almost 3 years in now and walking through those doors was the best decision I ever made. It’s improved my mental health, fitness and i have found a community full of like minded people who continue to support and lift each other up. Our head coach Craig is a professional, dedicated and strong leader who strives to ensure that every student under his wing is supported and respected. I have grown in so many ways during my time at Dream Art Bradford, and I can honestly say wholeheartedly that I have found a safe space where I can blossom.
Initially brought my boys solely for self defence and to stop them getting bullied this was around 2018 . 7/8 years later my boys still train jui jitsu under the wing of head coach Craig Tetley . What a journey it’s been over the years , my boys have competed in tons of competitions around the uk and actually won Worlds , European and many domestic championships. Dreamart have become more like extended family , Craig , Sam , coaches , other students and parents you couldn’t wish for a better group of people . If you want your kids to be confident especially in self defence Dream Art is the place to come .
Posted 1 year agoIncredible gym, Incredible coaches and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Great Anyone thinking of starting their journey needs to look no further. The kids / junior classes are phenomenal and both my son and daughter have developed so much, not only in their skills but their own personality /mindset. Learning how to win and loose with class. Setting them up with crucial life skills.
Posted 1 year agoDream Art is an amazing place for children and adults of all ages. The coach’s are awesome people helping all to learn the art of Brazilian Jujitsu. They help teach your child discipline and resilience as well as helping them grow their confidence in themselves and the environment at the club is very friendly and welcoming to everyone. It’s like being part of another family. My son has come so far in his self, his confidence and self esteem have increased dramatically since joining the club. The coaches are amazing at what they do.

Posted 1 year agoI have trained with this gym for 8 years (and counting) and it is the best place to learn martial arts! The team are so supportive of everything, from learning new techniques to competing. I started in the juniors class and all the coaches are polite and helpful (and talkative)!!
