Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Grappling.

Foundry Grappling is a community-focused martial arts gym based in Oldham, specialising in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), No-Gi grappling, and submission wrestling for both kids and adults. Whether you’re completely new to the sport or looking to level up your skills, our expert coaches and structured programmes offer a path for everyone — from beginners to aspiring competitors.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a dynamic, technique-based martial art that focuses on leverage, control, and submissions rather than brute strength. It’s one of the most effective self-defence systems in the world and a fantastic way to build strength, fitness, and confidence all while becoming part of a supportive, like-minded community.

At Foundry, we believe in high-quality coaching, consistent progress, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone can thrive.

Why Choose Foundry Grappling?

At Foundry Grappling, our coaching team brings years of experience both on the mats and in high-level competition. With backgrounds in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and No-Gi grappling, our instructors are not only skilled athletes but also passionate teachers. Under the 13th Dimension banner, we focus on helping each student progress, regardless of starting point with technical detail, real-world application, and personalised support.

We offer separate classes tailored for children, teens, and adults whether you’re looking to build discipline in your child or start a new challenge yourself. Our structured curriculum ensures that every class builds on the last, giving you clear goals, belt progression, and a supportive environment at every stage of your grappling journey.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective ways to improve your physical and mental wellbeing. You’ll increase your strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health while learning real self-defence skills. Perhaps more importantly, you’ll build confidence, resilience, and a sense of achievement both on and off the mats.

Not sure if BJJ is for you? We offer a no-obligation free trial class so you can experience our coaching, community, and facilities first-hand. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have trained before, we’ll make sure your first session is welcoming, safe, and fun. Just bring yourself we’ll handle the rest.
