About LOBO BJJ
Founded in September 2017 by head coach Mike Reay, a Black Belt under Professor Paul Hartley of LM BJJ, LOBO BJJ has fast become a cornerstone of the areas growing grappling scene. Mike started teaching Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) locally in 2016 and has since helped build a thriving community, where students have collected medals at events up and down the UK—and even set an amateur MMA record for the fastest submission.
But at LOBO BJJ, we believe jiu jitsu is for everyone, not just future competitors. Our classes welcome all ages and skill levels—whether you want to get fit, learn self-defence, compete, or just try something completely new in a friendly, supportive environment.
