BlackwolfBJJ is Clitheroe's only Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy. Martial arts for beginners and advanced practitioners taught by BJJ blackbelt Nicholas. Be the best version of yourself through personal growth in a friendly atmosphere.
I have been attending the ladies only Brazilian Jujitsu sessions ran by Coach Nick & Graham these last 4 weeks. The sessions have been great and I have really enjoyed myself. Coach Nick has been trained by the best in Brazilian Jujitsu Professor Mario Sukata. I have learnt a lot in each session. Coach Nick explains each technique step by step in an easy to understand way and will repeat each technique and steps until needed. I felt very comfortable training under Coach Nick & Graham. They are awesome coaches. I am looking forward to continuing training under their guidance and training in Brazilian Jujitsu.
My daughter joined a year ago and I couldn't be more happy she did. Her confidence is up to the roof.
The instructors are fantastic and she did create such a good friendship with Phil, Martella and the kids.
What a lovely place and very professional.

In my previous training, I was always craving the next level, since joining Nick and Team Sukata Accrington they've taken me to the next level and beyond and continue to do so, I highly recommend Team Sukata Accrington for anyone serious about their training and development, always professional and welcoming. 😊🥋
Trained combat for 8 years now but only been here for the last 8 months or so.
Honestly the best gym I've been to.
It feels like a family rather than just a gym/job.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to train either as a hobby or to have some serious fights.
As someone who’s completely new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I was a little nervous before joining, but I couldn’t have asked for a better place to start. Everyone has been so welcoming, friendly and supportive from day one.
The ladies self defence classes are brilliant they’re well-structured, encouraging and a really comfortable environment to learn in. I’ve never felt out of place, and the coaches take the time to explain everything clearly and help you improve at your own pace.
The atmosphere throughout the gym is respectful and inclusive, and there’s a real sense of community. I’m really glad I chose to start my BJJ journey here and would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you’re thinking about giving it a go for the first time.
I can’t recommend Sukata Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu enough. From the moment I started training, Nick and Phil have been nothing but supportive, patient, and encouraging. They’re fantastic coaches who take the time to help everyone improve, regardless of experience or ability.
The gym has such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and it’s always spotless, which makes it an enjoyable place to train. I’ve learned so much already, and every session leaves me feeling more confident and motivated. If you’re thinking about starting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or looking for a great place to train, Sukata is definitely the place to be.
My daughter has been attending for just over a year now, and I honestly can't recommend it enough. The difference in her confidence since she started has been incredible to see. She has grown not only in her jujitsu skills but also as a person, becoming much more confident, determined, and willing to challenge herself.
A huge thank you to Coach Phil for all the time, patience, and encouragement he gives to every child. He has such a great way of teaching, making the sessions enjoyable while helping the children build discipline, respect, and resilience. Coach Nick has also created a fantastic club with a welcoming atmosphere, and it's clear how much passion and dedication goes into making it such a great place for everyone to train.
The club has done my daughter the world of good, and she genuinely looks forward to every class. It's been one of the best decisions we've made, and we're so grateful to be part of such a welcoming and supportive team. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly, professional club where children can thrive both on and off the mats.
Walk in as over this way working. Very good club black belt instructor, very friendly also very good drills, price very good you really do get your bang for your buck. Was made feel very welcome from all the staff and students if your looking for a good friendly environment to train with some solid hard rolls this is the place to attend, I will deff be back thanks for having me.
Blackwolf BJJ was highly recommended and it did not dissapoint. Top class gym, the coaching was detailed and very helpful. Very welcoming and an inclusive environment, for all experience levels.
I had a great trial class here, I highly recommend it. Everyone I met was very friendly and made me feel part of the community, and the whole session had a positive atmosphere.
As a beginner, everyone was very attentive in making sure I was following – taking the time to explain things to me one on one.
The space was immaculate and well located, with free parking past 6pm only right at the end of the street at Lowergate Car Park.
I would definitely recommend anyone to try a trial class at Blackwolf BJJ – whether you're starting as a beginner or continuing your training.
The coach Nick is amazing, his classes are well structured, fun and you always come away feeling like you’ve learnt something.
I’ve also done some of his private lessons and he’s incredibly patient and a very knowledgeable coach.

This academy appears to prioritize business metrics over student development and respect. Decisions seem to be driven by attendance numbers rather than commitment to the people who invest their time, trust, and money.
Beyond that, the overall atmosphere lacks professionalism. Instead of fostering a supportive learning environment, it often feels dominated by ego, poor communication, and a noticeable disregard for students once they are no longer convenient.
A martial arts academy should be built on discipline, respect, and integrity. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Based on how I was treated, I cannot recommend this academy to anyone looking for a professional and respectful place to train.
I did not feel safe or respected while training at this gym. Over time, I had the impression that the well-being of the students was not a priority, and that the atmosphere was far from professional, inclusive, or welcoming. When someone no longer feels comfortable in a place where they should be able to train with confidence and peace of mind, something is clearly wrong. For me, the trust was completely lost, and for that reason, I would not recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place where they feel respected and valued
