Who we are
Welcome to the official University of Leeds Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu society! We are a passionate and growing community dedicated to the art of BJJ.
Our society was founded in 2020 and, after enduring the hardships of Covid, has emerged stronger and more vibrant than ever. Our core mission is to give every student the opportunity to try this incredible martial art, whether you're a complete beginner or have trained before, and hopefully, you'll learn to love it as much as we do.
But we're more than just what happens on the mats. With over 100 members joining us every year, we are a thriving community that loves to socialize. From taking on ninja warrior courses to classic pub crawls, we are dedicated to making the most of the student lifestyle and building lasting friendships. Join our team, wear our patch with pride, and discover your new passion!
