🌟 Team Sukata Chester: Your top BJJ academy in Chester! 🥋 Join us today!
Came down to Chester for a few weeks and trained here while I was staying. Really good training, friendly atmosphere, and everyone was welcoming. Would definitely recommend
I've taken my daughters to the kids classes and Jay has put them at ease and been really patient with them. The confidence in my elder daughter especially is better already and we've only been going a short while. Highly recommend it!
My two children have recently started training at Team Sukata and it’s been fantastic to watch. It’s great to see them learning valuable life skills while really enjoying every class. They walk out of the sessions feeling happy, proud and excited for the next one. I’ve been surprised at how quickly they’ve picked things up too! It’s nice to see them interacting with the other children, building confidence and feeling comfortable enough to give everything a go. Jay, Scott and Dan provide a welcoming and supportive environment and team photo at the end of each session is a really nice touch. This makes both boys feel like they’re part of something special and gives them a real sense of belonging. I’m so glad I signed them up to Team Sukata and I can’t wait to see how their Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu journeys progress over the years. I’d highly recommend Team Sukata to any parent thinking about giving their child the opportunity to try BJJ.
I can’t recommend Jay and the team enough! From the moment I first enquired, Jay was so patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. I had no idea what my daughter needed or where to start, but he helped me through everything and made the whole process really easy. From her very first class, everyone made my little girl feel so welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere is amazing—it’s like one big family, and you can tell they genuinely care about every child and helping them grow in confidence. The gym is always spotless and very well looked after too. We’re so glad we found this club and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of starting their child in BJJ!
Highly recommended for all levels! Entering a gym for the first time can be daunting, but Team Sukata is incredibly welcoming and friendly with a fantastic, ego-free atmosphere. The training pace is suitable for all age ranges and abilities—it’s a high-level competition gym where you get out what you put in, but they work entirely at your pace. The beginners' course was perfectly structured. Jay is an outstanding, time-proven coach; he brings a wealth of knowledge from BJJ alongside his experience in wrestling, Judo, and MMA. His extra tips and tricks make a massive difference when you're starting out. Five stars!
I’ve just completed the beginners course and honestly enjoyed every minute of it. The coaching was excellent, everything was explained clearly, and the atmosphere was welcoming from day one. Whether you’re completely new to jiu-jitsu or just thinking about giving it a try, I’d highly recommend this place. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve already signed up to do another beginners course. Great people, great training, and a brilliant environment to learn in.
I started here in may last year and have been hooked ever since! Everyone helps everyone, no egos and a top coach in jay, everything is explained and demonstrated thoroughly. Since joining ive gained loads in the way of confidence etc, my fitness has improved ten fold, I've lost a fair bit of weight and toned up, the best part of this gym for me is the friendliness and tight knit group. Ive made lots of genuine friends here 💙
Started at Sukata doing the beginners course at the end of last year. Even though I was nervous to walk through the doors the first time not knowing a single person there, it was the best decision I could of made! It was very welcoming from the start, the coach Jay and everyone there are brilliant and really go out their way to help you and make you feel at home! It's got a great atmosphere like one big family and training there truly makes you feel like you're apart of something special!
My son has been attending Team Sukata Chester for a few months now and it's amazing to see how far he's come, both in BJJ and also his confidence in every day life. Jay is an amazing teacher, he's incredibly supportive, patient, and welcoming no matter your ability or experience level. He creates a positive, encouraging environment where everyone feels comfortable learning and improving at their own pace. The classes are well-structured, motivating, and a lot of fun. You really feel part of a community here. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about starting martial arts or continuing their training. Everyone is welcome regardless of ability.
Been training here about 4 months and can say it’s helped me both physically & mentally. Really good atmosphere in and out of the gym with the team & it also has a growing women’s team too who are all lovely.
Posted 1 year agoI've known jay for nearly 7 years and he is the by far best bjj coach I've trained under, I like his training methods that much that I take my kids to the kids classes. Bjj is a full body work out and is highly recommended no matter your age or abilities. the hardest part of bjj is getting on the mats, be brave and give it a go
Posted 1 year agoTried my first session last week absolutely loved it . And have been back most days since . The coach there hay is very welcoming and so is all his students . Highly recommended
Posted 1 year agoI come from a Judo back ground and have done BJJ on and off, visiting numerous of different gyms over the years. I decided to start fresh at a new gym - Team Sukata Chester - Jay Ross I have been training there for almost 2 months now and I have never looked back since! Safe to say that I have found the perfect gym for me. Coach Jay is very welcoming and he supports and listens to me as an experienced fighter. Considering that this gym had only opened in just January this year, it has grown and grown! A very successful club with very welcoming students also. We all help and empower each other!This gym also has a great team of women, which is very beneficial for me as a female fighter! I love the atmosphere in this gym which makes this place different, it has such great energy and you are never treated as an outsider. I always come out of there buzzing. I have made friends for life there.
Posted 1 year agoLoved my first class with Jay Ross & team sukata chester. I signed up for the month at the end of the session. Loving it so far. Everyone is friendly and there's a good vibe
