Driven by a passion for fostering physical and mental well-being, we aim to create a space where individuals of all ages and abilities can thrive through the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Our mission is to empower individuals through the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, fostering a sense of community, discipline, personal growth, and top-tier training facilities. With the goal of providing a professional training environment, the gym is looking for £5000 to invest in high-quality mats for the new facility located at F51 Folkestone. “Folkestone 51 is the world’s first purpose-built multi-story skatepark. Only a 54-minute train journey from London St Pancras, it is home to the largest lead climbing wall in the South East while also featuring bouldering facilities and a boxing gym. Three floors dedicated to skateboarding, with two world-class suspended concrete bowls, F51 has turned heads both nationally and internationally."

What we'll deliver:

• 9m x 9m Premium quality Dollamur roll out mats.
• Move into world class facilities with showers, bathrooms, lockers, changing rooms, reception & cafe
• An enhanced training experience setting the gym apart from potential competitors and an improved class schedule.

Why it's a great idea:

Folkestone Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not merely a gym; it's a transformative force designed to enrich the fabric of the local community. By strategically positioning itself in F51 Folkestone, FBJJ aims to bring elite BJJ training to the heart of the town, catering to diverse sections of the community.
