BJJ Gyms in Wales

Wales is one of the smallest national footprints in the directory at just 3 gyms across 3 cities — Cardiff, Newport and Chepstow — all in the South Wales / Severn corridor. That tiny number understates the country's wider BJJ activity (a number of Welsh academies sit outside the current scrape, and South Wales practitioners regularly cross the bridge to **Gracie Barra Bath** in the West of England), but it accurately reflects the directory's current coverage. Pricing is in GBP and runs a tight £50–£55/mo adult-unlimited band — well below the English big-city average — with drop-ins at £12–£18. **Cardiff** is held by **Gracie Barra Cardiff** (Round Wood, Llanedeyrn, CF23 9PF) — the Welsh capital's Gracie Barra branch, part of the global GB network. Covers BJJ Gi and No-Gi for adults and kids, with **REORG-approved** status supporting serving and former military and emergency-services personnel. Adult unlimited £55/mo, drop-in £12. **Newport** is held by **Newport MMA** at 3 Kelvedon Street (NP19 0DW) — an MMA-first listing with a 5.0/64-review Google profile; the directory entry currently lacks pricing, instructor lineage and BJJ-specific program detail, so its position on the BJJ spectrum is undocumented. **Chepstow**, on the Welsh side of the Severn Bridge just minutes from Bristol, is held by **Mindset MMA Fitness** (Unit 6 Critchcraft Buildings, Bulwark, NP16 5QZ) — a full-service MMA gym covering BJJ Gi and No-Gi, MMA, Muay Thai and Wrestling, with kids and women's programmes. £50/mo membership, £18 drop-in. The Chepstow listing is independent / unaffiliated and pulls students from both sides of the Welsh-English border given its proximity to Bristol and Gracie Barra Bath. Note: the historical Welsh **Japanese Ju-Jitsu** clubs (BJJAGB, Jiu Jitsu Foundation, Bujinkan affiliates) are not counted in this BJJ-only directory.
