The Dungeon BJJ

Gateshead

Welcome to The Dungeon Gateshead, a premier Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) gym in Team Valley, Gateshead, England.

Nestled in the heart of Gateshead in the Team Valley, our BJJ academy offers top-tier instruction within a supportive, welcoming environment that is perfectly suited for individual learning and growth.

As a unique and tactical martial art, BJJ’s focus is on ground fighting with submission holds and strangles. It has a technical system that enables a smaller person to defend against a larger opponent.

With its roots in self-defence, sport grappling, and fitness, BJJ offers a host of benefits for both your mind and body, including improved strength, increased flexibility, strategic thinking, and a tight-knit community to support your journey.

At the helm of our academy is a first-degree black belt with 15 years of BJJ experience. A product of the original Dungeon in Sunderland, our head instructor’s journey from white to black belt has instilled him with a deep understanding of the learning process that beginners undergo. This uniquely personal experience allows for an empathetic and effective teaching approach, supporting students at every stage of their BJJ journey.

At The Dungeon Gateshead, we proudly carry forward the legacy of our Sunderland roots. Our passion for the art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is evident in every session we host.
