Campbell St, Preston PR1 5LX, UK
RGA Preston is an outstanding academy and a perfect fit for families. I train here with my wife and our three children for over a year, and the environment is inclusive, professional, and highly supportive. The impact on our family has been visible and profound. Our children have grown significantly as individuals, developing discipline and focus. Most notably, the academy has been incredible for our autistic son; we’ve seen him grow immensely in self-confidence and personal development. The coaches balance technical expertise with genuine care, ensuring every student, regardless of their starting point, progresses safely. While we have a long pathway ahead of us, the positive changes in our family's confidence and dynamic are already undeniable. For anyone in Preston looking for a respectful, family-oriented BJJ environment, this academy truly sets the standard. Highly recommended.
I've been training here now since July and have absolutely found my home! What a bunch of guys and girls it is... great atmosphere everytime and a real sense of community from the people who do it as an alternative to a regular gym to keep moving to those who compete and what to test themselves, you'll be supported and won't regret that first walk through the door!!!
Hello everyone This review has been long overdue ! If anyone is looking for an absolute smashing female only bjj coach, who does ladies only group and 1-1 sessions , look no further to … Richelle , you will not be disappointed. I’ve watched my daughter grow in confidence in bjj within just a few sessions and pick it up so quickly Richelle runs very thorough sessions .. she is a fantastic instructor. Very professional and teaches with her heart and has great passion. It all comes through. I’ve watched her personally deliver the sessions and I’ve been extremely impressed . Roger Gracie Preston has a brilliant asset on their team !!! I look forward to seeing my daughter grow in this sport with Richelle!
Started here as a white belt 5 months ago, so glad I did. Instructors are super competent and put inclusivity, hygiene, and safety high on the priority list. Met loads of new friends and have enjoyed a full calendar of beginner/fundamental friendly classes. If you're thinking about trying Jiu Jitsu, or any self defence, I 100% recommend taking this gym's first free class 😁

Posted 2 years agoIf you're just getting started or looking for somewhere to train whilst away from your usual gym. This place should be first on your list, amazing community of people whose sole purpose is to help and improve each other every day. Amazing gym, great family atmosphere and a wealth of experience. This is RGA Preston!
Been training here for just over a year now and currently train at the gym between 4-6 times a week and couldn’t imagine my week without it these days. There is a wide variety of classes available, between gi and no-gi formats, ranging from 6am to the middle of the day through to the evenings. With something for everyone 7 days a week. Work commitments mean scheduling can be tight for me but the wide variety of classes and times mean I can train at times that suit my day or week without compromising my time on the mats. Not only is the quality of the training exceptional from a technical perspective, but the culture is exceptional. The gym is a safe environment; truly welcoming to all, regardless of age, prior experience, gender and ability. The culture created by Professor Pan, the other Professors and coaches is nothing short of phenomenal; everyone has a vested interest in your progression and, as such, will willingly give of their time to pass down their expertise. There’s also a large number black, brown and purple belts (apparently not the norm) giving so much experience on the mats and variation in style and approach, every session becomes a new learning experience. Also, if you have kids- the kids coaching is a really well developed program producing some unbelievable talent in the younger members of the club, some of whom compete (and win) regularly. Finally, the best part of the gym is the people who are awesome as is the community. As someone said to me, all you need to do is to give it one hour and you’ll be hooked. For me they were right. Give it a go- 100%.
Posted 2 years agoRGA Preston is outstanding! The facility is incredibly spacious, providing ample room for everyone to train comfortably. The community is welcoming and vibrant, making every session enjoyable. The coaches are exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive, guiding each student to improve their skills. My son has been attending the kids' classes since he was 4, for 2 years now, and he absolutely loves it. I started this year and have been thoroughly enjoying it. The atmosphere is filled with great banter and camaraderie, making it a fun and engaging place to train. This gym truly feels like a second family. Highly recommend it!
