Today is a very special anniversary for us as it marks 7 years since our 12 Hour Grapplethon.

08/06/2019 saw Clubs from all over the North-West come and roll for 12 hours and helped us raise over £2000 for two amazing charities Leeds Cares & Lymphoma Action UK.

It also marked our 25th Anniversary, definitely one of our favourite memories! What a day 🙌

📣 Coaching announcement 📣

We are delighted to share that .coulthard is joining the team here at Rossendale Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Anya, is an experienced purple belt training out of the fantastic and under hugely respected coaches John and Steven (in the picture)

We asked her to give us a quick intro -

“Hey I’m Anya…

I’m a 25 year old purple belt from Carlisle.

I started training when I was 17 out of Radgie Rollers before moving to Burnley for university, where I now train out of Milltown bjj.

I love bjj for confidence, fitness and the community it brings and would love to share the mat with new women and show them this awesome sport”

We’ve trained with Anya a few times now and both Steve and Matt are buzzing to have her onboard.

Standby for an update on Anya’s classes 🙌
