Elements Martial Arts Brighton Reviews

I've found my new home at Elements! There is such a fabulous community and all of the coaches are excellent. There is a good balance of professionalism and fun. Coaches are knowledgeable and teach safe drilling and sparring while also being kind, encouraging and approachable. The gym is clean and has high hygiene standards and good facilities. There is a real sense of community and belonging and it is not internally competitive or petty. They have a dedicated WhatsApp group for female members which made it all the more welcoming to me. I feel safe and equally taught.

I've been dropping into Elements every time I visit Brighton over the past two years, and what keeps bringing me back is the people and the coaches. From your first session as a visitor you're treated like a regular, not an outsider. The mats have a culture that's competitive without being hostile. The facility itself is well-kept and has everything it needs to. Clean mats, good space, and an environment that reflects how seriously the gym takes the sport. For anyone visiting Brighton whether you're a regular traveller passing through or relocating to the area Elements is worth going out of your way for.

The team at Elements Martial Arts Brighton were warm and welcoming when my friend and I turned up for our first BJJ class. The coach was clear and patient with us and we came away feeling that we had actually learned something. The rest of the group were really friendly and encouraging. We are definitely joining for more classes!

I've been going to Elements on and off for past 4 years and it became my place where I can relax. I go to early mornings classes as I'm usually buzy during the day. Yousuf, main coach, absolutely loves the gym and this love and passion soaks through all the coaches and students. I truly believe that BJJ made me calmer, kinder and more humble person. If you are thinking of starting training, then Elements is the right place.

High level jiujitsu with no ego. Teachers and students were very welcoming and friendly. My first time training in over two years, I felt comfortable, welcome and safe. The mat space is big and well maintained.

I had my first experience on the mats for jiu-jitsu and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely comfortable and at ease, especially as someone turning up alone without knowing anyone beforehand. The fundamental classes are very beginner friendly and even within a single session I could already notice small but meaningful progress. My confidence grew as the session went on, and so did my enjoyment. I left feeling excited to keep learning and to continue my jiu-jitsu journey after such a positive start with Elements. The staff were excellent from start to finish approachable, welcoming, and clearly very knowledgeable. The members were just as friendly, creating an environment that felt supportive rather than intimidating. It’s rare to find a sporting or competitive space where everyone is so willing to help each other improve, particularly in a combat sport. I’ll definitely be continuing my membership after the free trial, which was a really thoughtful touch and I’ll be recommending friends to come along and experience it for themselves.

Just had a trial session, everyone was really welcoming and helpful. Found the mix of practicing technique and rolling really helpful for me to learn. Definitely recommend giving it a go. Update: Been going for nearly a month and really enjoying it, all the instructors are great and feel like I'm improving.
