Academia BJJ Lifestyle UK

Fantastic gym to train at, I have been with Lucio for a few years now and highly recommend. World class coaching with world class training partners, family friendly and classes suitable for all levels. Lucios competition reseme speaks for its self

World class coaching with a welcoming atmosphere.Whether you're training with the intention to compete or just to stay in shape - I couldn't recommend Lucio's gym enough.

Been training here just shy of 2 years now. World class tuition and a team of students that I now consider friends.Starting BJJ is such a positive life choice and you will get the best possible start on that journey training with lucio.

Been training with Lucio for 3 years now. He’s an amazing coach who knows what students need. There are classes for beginners(people who haven’t trained before), intermediate and advanced Jiu Jiteiros, all structures in a way which allows you to progress and understand Jiu Jitsu.Carl is a second coach, and he’s very innovative, teaching all of the basics as well as the fancy stuff like lapel guard.This gym is an absolute joy to train in and the people you’ll meet will become your life-long friends.

Great facility ran by high level coaches. The gym is one of a kind, it is suitable for all ages, families and both genders which is hard to find in most gyms. They welcome you with open arms. Lucio and carl are professional world class athletes and coaches!

Everyone at the gym is welcoming and made me feel at ease from my first training session. Lucio and Carl are great coaches and still compete in competitions across the UK and the world. Highly recommend to anyone that's trying BJJ for the first time or an experienced athlete.

If you looking for a bjj school for your kids or for yourself than don't look any further! Lucio and his coaching team can not be praised enough for their knowledge, patients, dedication, friendliness, adoptability to your needs and most important of all their humbleness are just some of the many qualities the coaches possess.There is such a great vibe about the place. All of the students are very friendly and well balanced. At the school you get people of all stages hence it meets everyone's learning needs.This is a great place to roll, learn and meet and make good friends.Place is well maintained and great value for money.Lucio success and achievements does not require any introduction they are self explanatory my kids are lucky to have such a dedicated and inspiring instructor.Lucio has moved to new place just off Hyde Rd. Arch 3, Bennett St, Manchester, M12 5AQ.

Great atmosphere. Friendly people that will break the ice on the moment that you step in the gym. Mostly of the people who start doing just for curiosity (myself included) didn't stop so far.The classes are amazing. Even if you want to compete or doing just for fun and fitness, no doubt it's the best place to release your stress from work

Before my first BJJ class at Lucio’s, I was full of doubts whether this is the right thing for me. BJJ seemed like a high-intensity activity that required strength, agility, and just in general ‘athletism’. While I wasn’t a particularly lazy person before, I also wasn’t in a good shape. I was worried that I would look foolish. Guess what? I did look foolish because I had no idea how to do an armbar, or what side control was, or what mount was. But that didn’t matter because Lucio and the guys at the gym were all helpful and supportive. No one laughed at me, no one made me feel like I didn’t belong there; quite the opposite: these guys all understood that coming to your first BJJ class can be tough and no one wants to leave disappointed. So, they helped me: Lucio came over many times to show me how to do the techniques correctly and my drilling partners all took time to break down the moves for me so I can execute them properly. Everybody was cheery and buzzing with positive energy. My first BJJ class turned out to be the first step of a journey that will accompany me throughout my life. In the last year, I’ve been consistently supported by Lucio, Carl, Mike and all the guys in the gym who aren’t there to do ego-sparring, but to enjoy the art of BJJ and to supportively roll with each other and also have a great time. If you want to learn more about BJJ, or just want to have a great work out, then Lucio’s gym is definitely the best one for you.
