This academy is amazing, everyone is very welcoming, friendly, and patient with a complete beginner like me, Jamie & the rest of the instructors especially. They take the time to make sure you understand everything and feel part of the group. My only regret... not starting sooner!

You are immediately made to feel welcome here by the team at Curated Jiu-Jitsu. There's a nice atmosphere here everyday you go. All the people are great and very very helpful. Yes it's hard work but it is a lot of fun and quite addictive. I've not tried anything like this before. I really enjoy coming here. Thank you to the team at Curated Jiu-Jitsu.

My son started his Jiu jitsu journey a couple of months ago and absolutely loves this place. Classes are well led with plenty of instruction, practice time and encouragement.

Both my children started at the same time but different classes due to age gap. I was concerned about my eldest child being picked on and bullied the last straw was when 4 boys from the bigger year group decided to use my child as a punch bag. I even had to get the police involved and the school still did not support or stand by my child. And as time went on other children’s parents approached me... More

Both my children started at the same time but different classes due to age gap. I was concerned about my eldest child being picked on and bullied the last straw was when 4 boys from the bigger year group decided to use my child as a punch bag. I even had to get the police involved and the school still did not support or stand by my child. And as time went on other children’s parents approached me and told me they had gone through similar situations and the school did not stand or support them but molly cuddled the bullies. So as a parent I was concerned I had even contacted my Doctors for support but the mental health support is nonexistent. So I searched about and found Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu it was further away than I wanted to go but after going there to check it out and see how the staff at Gracie Barra teach children I did a free taster session for both my children and both my children where apprehensive at first but then started to enjoy it. I noticed a big change in my eldest personality she was happy again and she felt more confident at school too. After going to Gracie Barra for a few months I was at school in the playground. One of the bullies saw my child they even knew I was the child’s dad and he came and started pushing my child about well my child turned around went into ready stance and pushed back the bully was quite shocked as was I and my child stood firm looking directly at him and he just turned and ran. Since my children have been attending their Jiu Jitsu classes their self esteem and confidence has grown strength to strength. It was the best decision I have made for my children it’s something they can use to protect and defend themselves in life a real proper life skill. And what can I say about the coaches, coach Gabby and Coach Nate are excellent as well as Professor Jamie the way they teach the children and support them is second to none. They are always to hand to to talk to and nothing is too much trouble they are a excellent team and it will show through your child paying attention and there mannerisms will change for the better and the confidence they show is amazing I have seen it in both my children and have been told my children’s school teachers wow I was amazed by your child really showed some leadership in class today, your child stood up infront of the school assembly and explained their answer to a question. I am so happy I chose to bring my children to Gracie Barra Jiu Jitsu bring your children or yourselves and have a taster session you won’t be disappointed. Less

Great Facilities, excellent staff. My son really enjoys training here. Highly recommended.

Fantastic team of people at Gracie Barra Huddersfield, very welcoming and encouraging for all ages. Jiu Jitsu will help focus, concentration and overall fitness. A great discipline for children.

We have been going for a couple of years! The coach’s are fantastic, very well organised and great with the kids. One of the best after school activities available, highly recommend.

I can't recommend this place enough!! The coaches are incredible, so knowledgeable, patient, and approachable. The Classes are always well structured great fun, and inclusive for all. It really is one big family. My boys love it. I would encourage any child to give it ago and see what possibilities they can achieve

Been training here for a year now and can’t speak more highly of the place. Immaculate facilities and great coaching. Met lots of cool people and thoroughly enjoy every session.

The team at GB Huddersfield were super helpful in getting me started with BJJ. All members of the club are supportive, welcoming and passionate about the sport. Thanks to all!

My 9 year old daughter has been coming to Gracie Barra Huddersfield for just over 18 months and absolutely loves it. She attends almost 4 x week and has improved massively with her strength, technique but also her confidence. The coaches are super friendly and supportive working with the child’s ability and specific needs. We couldn’t be happier would highly recommend.

Fantastic facility and even better people. All the instructors are so welcoming and very knowledgeable. 👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic club! My son started in January coached by Jamie, Gabby and Nate who are really welcoming and are fantastic coaches! My son has come on leaps and bounds. It's been great to watch his journey into jiu-jitsu and his confidence grow. plenty of competitions and chances to do more if you want to take that route or just train and develop yourself, There's so many reasons to join!

I've been training at Gracie Barra Huddersfield for just over 2 years and I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of instruction and the welcoming atmosphere. Jamie Paxman, the head black belt instructor, is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled. His passion for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is evident in every class and he has a unique ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps. Jamie is not only a fantastic instructor but also a great mentor. He creates a supportive environment where everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, feels valued and encouraged to improve. The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and maintains a friendly, respectful culture among all its members. Whether you're looking to get fit, learn self-defense, or compete at a high level, Gracie Barra Huddersfield is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in starting or continuing their Brazilian Jiu Jitsu journey! Less

My son has absolutely loves the classes at GB Huddersfield, I just wished he had joined sooner, highly recommend!

Clean, well organised training environment. Friendly and knowledgeable coaches, teaching from a tried and tested syllabus. Excellent place to train.

The Team at Gracie Barra are amazing. It’s an amazing place to train and a lovely community to be part of. Would recommend to anyone.

Really professional and friendly team. I joined Gracie Barra Huddersfield having had no martial arts experience; I found the Jamie, Gabby and team to be both approachable and genuinely supportive. Top club!

What a fantastic group, have made me feel so welcome. I had no previous experience but there's no judgement and just a really helpful team. Highly recommend and would be great to have a few more ladies attending

Training here for around 6months. Excellent school and great value for money. Very very high level teaching. Great atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Brilliant set up over in Meltham. The professor and coaches all excel in their teaching ability and people skills making it a welcoming atmosphere for all ability levels. Can't recommend enough.

Great atmosphere! If any ladies are thinking about joining then go for it! You will not be disappointed, the coaches are really good and friendly. It’s a great work out. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been attending for a few years and I've noticed how the classes not only equip her with valuable self defence skills, but also have contributed to developing her confidence and team working skills. The coaching style of the classes is engaging and empowering; she always has a smile on her face.

Really good classes and good explanations/demonstrations of the techniques. I felt welcome from the first session and helped by staff and other students. Really nice and atmosphere and we'll worth doing.

Positive, fun & friendly learning environment teaching valuable life skills. Prof Jamie, Coach Gabby, Coach Nate & Coach Ash are super friendly, positive fantastic teachers and role models. 100% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had an amazing first session, Jamie and gabby were very helpful with everything, signed up straight away!

I mean I’m nearly fifty and a few months ago had major back surgery ..... you need to trust your training partners when your learning or injured , and at a certain age ! .... such a privilege for me to train with these guys ..... and if your thinking your too weak , too old or massively out of shape or just simply embarrassed then ...... come along try it ..... it might just make you smile too 😊 Less

Excellent! The facility is modern, clean and spacious. It’s clear that Professor Jamie and Coach Gabby have a genuine passion for what they do, my Son has been attending their children’s classes for the last month, after each session he insists on knowing when we can return. 👏

Joshua is loving Jamie's classes!! he's patient and kind with kids, I couldn't ask for more dedication.

Absolutely fantastic teaching from Jamie. Our 3 sons all attend and love the sessions. They are learning and developing so much whilst enjoying themselves and growing in confidence. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend

What a year it's been training with everyone at the club over the past year. Jamie is very approachable, accessible and a very knowledgeable BJJ instructor. He's been great at supporting myself through competitions and the results speak for themselves. Looking forward to the new venue and more good times to come.

Jamie was so understanding of what Alfie was going through and as a parent I felt helpless. Months and months later he is back to his cheeky confident self and I’m happy to say he has had no more issues with bullying after standing up for himself in a mature and controlled manner. The classes teach how to defend themselves, to believe in themselves and to respect themselves and others, I’m so glad we joined the BJJ family 😊 Less

Jamie is a fantastic coach, he is always so positive and encouraging in his approach. My daughter (age 6) loves attending the classes, she has so much fun whilst also learning the techniques, discipline, respect and the need to remain focused. I love how friendly, professional and welcoming the classes are for everyone.

Jamie is an outstanding Jiu Jitsu teacher. My two boys (10 and 8) have loved it from the word go. The classes are focused but not intimidating for the youngsters in any way. A fantastic introduction to martial arts.

Jamie is a fantastic and highly quilified black belt instructor, with a real positive attitude to training & teaching. As a white belt it can be a bit overwhelming, but you are guided step by step and every session ends up being really fun and rewarding.

Have been fortunate enough to train under professor Jamie over the last year. Jamie has both a friendly approachable manner and a great ability to break down and explain complex techniques. Highly recommend!

Great new club for us all in Huddersfield. Can't wait to see it going from strength to strength under a dynamic, young and enthusiastic coach.

Jamie is an absolutely amazing coach who is friendly and patient. He is also one of the few coaches who can help you better understand by dissecting techniques and teach you step by step.

Jaime is one of the best instructors out there and an amazing competitor. Highly recommended :)

Professor Jamie is one of the best BJJ practitioners, competitors and instructors I have ever had the pleasure of training with. It's awesome that he has his own school now.

It's always a pleasure to be in one of Prof. Jamie's classes. He has an incredibly detailed and broad knowledge of Jiu Jitsu, together with a fantastic ability to break those details down to a more tangible form. Passionate, caring and thoughtful, I wish there were more stars to give Gracie Barra Huddersfield �����

Jamie is an amazing coach. Thats all you need to know

Jamie is a fantastic teacher and competitor. I've always enjoyed training with him and I've learned a lot from him.

Jamie is the best coach in the whole world
