Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Beeston, Nottingham

Roll Deep is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu academy in Beeston, Nottingham, founded and led by Black Belt Carlos Gomes. We run classes nearly every day of the week, for kids, teens and adults, whether you’ve never stepped on a mat or you’re already competing.

BJJ is a grappling martial art. Rather than striking, you learn to control, sweep and submit a resisting partner using leverage and technique. It’s tough, and nobody pretends otherwise. However, it’s also one of the few martial arts where you can train hard several times a week and still go to work the next day.

Martial arts in Beeston, with BJJ at the centre

Most people looking for martial arts in Nottingham end up choosing between a dozen styles they’ve never tried. We’d rather be clear about what we do. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the core of everything at Roll Deep, in both Gi and No-Gi. Wrestling classes support it, with stand-up work that feeds directly into the ground game.

That focus is deliberate. Rather than offering a bit of everything, we’d sooner coach one discipline properly.

Who trains at Roll Deep?

  • Complete beginners. Our beginners classes are built for people starting from zero. New starters can also try our beginners classes free for a week before committing.
  • Kids and teens. Kids Classes and our teen classes use games, drills and supervised sparring to build confidence, coordination and discipline, from age 5 upwards
  • Women. Our female-led, women-only sessions are open to members and non-members, at any level of experience.
  • Experienced grapplers. Advanced Gi and No-Gi classes, open mats and drop-in sessions are open to anyone who has trained elsewhere and wants quality rounds in Nottingham.
  • Competitors. The Roll Deep team competes regularly across the UK, including at Grapple Fest, and we support members of every belt who want to compete.

Why train Jiu Jitsu?

The fitness side is real. BJJ builds strength, mobility and endurance without ever feeling like a gym routine. Still, that isn’t usually why people stay. What keeps members coming back is learning to stay calm when things go wrong, and to solve problems while tired. That skill transfers to a lot more than the mats.

We’ll also be honest about the catch: progress in BJJ is slow, and the first few months are humbling for everyone. That’s exactly why the room matters. Our ethos, like our name, is Roll Deep: train hard, look after your partners and leave the ego at the door.
