Every time I’ve been to Ste Henshall’s the place is buzzing. Full of great grapplers of every rank and such a great squad of competitors. Whether you’re new to BJJ or a veteran Purple belt that just drops in from time to time, this is the place for you.
I honestly can’t recommend Henshalls BJJ Manchester enough!
The gym is really family-friendly. There are lots of men and women who train and they often bring their kids along too. My kids had been training BJJ for about 2 years at another club, and in just one session with Ste they learned more than they had in those two years. That alone blew me away.
I’ve got three kids training here, two of them autistic. My daughter is very particular about change and usually won’t go anywhere new. The first time she came, she sat out and just watched because she wasn’t comfortable joining in. Now she’s training both BJJ and Muay Thai 2–3 times a week with her siblings and all the other kids and she absolutely loves it. That alone says a lot about the environment here.
The kids’ classes are unreal (BJJ - Mon-Thurs 5pm, Sat 10am, Sun Comp Class at 1:30pm and Muay Thai - Mon/Weds/Thurs/Fri 6pm, Sat 9am & Sun 10am). They do an hour of BJJ, then head downstairs for an hour of Muay Thai and that’s six days a week. The adults can do the same, BJJ followed by Muay Thai. When you look at the price, the fact you can train every day, the quality of the facilities, and the levels of the coaching, there isn’t a gym in the UK that can top Henshalls BJJ.
The gym itself is spotless, the atmosphere is really welcoming, and everyone’s really friendly. I signed up on the family membership myself.
I hadn’t trained for 5–6 years and getting back on the mats here has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. There are no cliques, no egos, just people who genuinely want to help each other get better. The standard of training is seriously high as well, with lots of the guys competing regularly, which shows just how good the coaching is across the board. It’s actually scary watching how good the kids are too! They also have a Kids comp class and lets just say I’m honestly glad the classes are split into kids and adults!!
Adults can pretty much train every single day, multiple times a day if you want (BJJ - Mon -Thurs at 10am & 6pm & Fri/Sat/Sun - 10am and Muay Thai - Mon/Weds/Thurs at 7pm, Fri at 6pm & Sat at 10am).
The only downside is I live about 30 minutes away, so it’s a bit of a trek, otherwise I would be here even more. I’ve got BJJ gyms 5–10 minutes from my house, but honestly, none of them come close to this place.
I’m only a white belt, but if you’re thinking of starting BJJ, don’t even think twice, this is the gym you want to join. They clearly have a no dickhead policy too, because everyone I’ve trained and spoken with has been a top person!!
Every time we go to Steve's, it's always a brilliant atmosphere.
Mats are sharp, music is on point, and there's always refreshments.
The range of classes is brilliant, and it is very much family focused 🙌
So glad I found “The attic”. Ste is brilliant and allows everyone to develop their own game and grow while providing the right level of guidance. Supportive group. All levels.
From the moment I walked in on my first day I knew I’d found the right place to train.
I’m an ageing hobbyist but still get to roll with tough competitors who are gentle enough while challenging me appropriately and allowing me to learn.
Couldn’t recommend it enough.
Amazing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gym that offers a fantastic range of Gi and No-Gi Classes throughout the week. Lots of time on the mats rolling and detailed tutorials from experienced instructors have made it the perfect place to improve my BJJ.
The club’s atmosphere is fun and welcoming and there is a real drive to improve and get better that runs through the club, this comes from Steve Henshall whose BJJ knowledge and personality as an instructor is top drawer.
I have been a member for 6 Months now and the classes are the highlight of my week. If you are looking for a BJJ Gym in Manchester I recommend you check this place out.
The head coach Ste is a top class bloke and brilliant teacher. You definitely get your money’s worth and see very quick results. The gym has a good vibe, is clean and everyone is super welcoming, from the experienced to the beginners. If you are thinking of starting, just do it as there is 0 awkwardness and no risk of tying. I would highly recommend and have to friends and family who hopefully will join the community.
