The Home of CSBJJ in Greater Manchester

CSBJJ is a ground-based martial arts system that everyone can enjoy. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have grappling experience, all levels are welcome.

BJJ is suitable for both men and women with our club boasting a number of female students who attend regularly to our mixed, adult BJJ classes in Wigan.

A BJJ gi (uniform) is required for CSBJJ classes. One can be ordered through the club if you do not already own a gi. They come in a choice of black, blue or white. If you would like to borrow a gi to use for the lesson, the fee is £5 per use.

CSBJJ follows the traditional BJJ belt system of white, blue, purple, brown and black belts, with each belt acquiring 4 stripes before the progression to the next coloured belt. Stripes and belts are earned through regular attendance and the application of the techniques learned in class during live sparring and rolling.

Head instructor Mel Corrigan is a superb martial arts teacher who's knowledge seems to know no bounds. He's one of the few martial arts instructors I've met who's able to help you understand the techniques, especially when you're struggling.

Cannot recommend enough

Been attending for about 18months. Started on two sessions a week (kickboxing and BJJ) and gradually increased to add the CSW classes. Joined to loose weight after COVID Lockdown, dropped from 16st 10lb to 14st 7lb so far.

Cannot recommend enough, Mel is great, the sessions are all great, and everyday is a school day. If I could give it more stars, I would.
