Joined Urso last year , absolutely fantastic club, very active WhatsApp group so easy to keep up to date. Only leaving the club as moving away, otherwise would certainly be staying. Lots of classes throughout the week too and during the day / morning, so very accommodating for shift workers. 10/10
I joined this club just over a year ago as part of a massive weight loss journey and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The coaching is top tier and from day one I felt like I belonged here. If you're wondering about taking up a martial art, you can't go wrong with joining Urso. Here's to many more years to come.
Coming back to training after a few years off, choosing Urso was definitely the right decision. From the first session I felt really welcome and comfortable on the mats.
The atmosphere is friendly and supportive, Tarik and boys do a great job of helping everyone improve, no matter their experience level. Whether you’re a complete beginner or getting back into training after a long break like me, you’ll find the right level for yourself.
What’s great is the variety of classes available – Gi, No-Gi and MMA – so everyone can train in the style that suits them best.
A brilliant place to train with a great team spirit. Highly recommended for anyone in or around Basingstoke looking to start or get back into martial arts.
Urso is such a great environment to start or continue your Jiu Jitsu journey. I started in November 2023 and was quickly welcomed by the head coach/professor Tarik, along with the team. The vibes are never bad, the jits is solid, fellow team mates are eager to help and progress is encouraged. The lineage is strongly set in traditional Brazilian fashion without the gatekeeping, so if you’re local and want to join a bunch of legends and get involved in the true essence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, give the den a visit… you will be welcomed!
Not only is this gym an excellent place to train, with a plethora of high level coaches, all from diverse backgrounds and styles, but Urso is also an incredible community. You are welcomed in warmly and made to feel like a member of the family as soon as you enter the gym, instantly feeling supported and safe. Jiu Jitsu is a sport that improves confidence, strength, fitness, health, also giving you an effective method of self defence. There is no better place to learn Jiu Jitsu than here - highly recommend.
If you are looking for a brazilian jiujitsu gym, or martial arts gym to join in basingstoke, then this is what you need. Great vibes and community feel. Everyone is super friendly, and the coaches are so knowledgeable. Walking into a martial arts gym is the hardest part usually especially when new to something, but you will feel comfortable walking into urso immediately, and everyone there will make you feel at home. If you are looking to start your BJJ journey in Basingstoke, then this is the place you need to go.
I highly recommend Urso Jiu jitsu. I have trained at a lot of gyms over the years due to travelling for work. Urso has great coaches, great jiu jitsu and as importantly great people and vibes. Can't recommend it highly enough.
I’ve been training martial arts since I was six when I transferred over and started BJJ earlier this year urso has been the best place I’ve trained in 16 years of martial arts, Tarik and his coaching team have set up an amazing program as well as an amazing community within the club. After training at the club for 4 months I competed in my first competition and won 2nd in my category which I was super grateful for the excellent coaching and the club members who came out to support those competing
If you're thinking about starting BJJ or continuing your jiu jitsu journey, I highly recommend Urso BJJ. Tarik and Gareth are very knowledgeable and patient instructors who have created a fun environment to learn. Come down and experience it for yourself
