The Classes
Welcome to Training Grounds—a full-time martial arts academy in the Liverpool area. We run friendly, structured classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Muay Thai (Thai Boxing), Wrestling and MMA for adults and kids.
Every class welcomes beginners and challenges advanced students—coaches scale techniques and rounds so you build skill safely and progress fast.
The Coaches
What to Expect
Arrive, warm up, learn one focused theme, drill it with a partner, then (if you’re ready) try it in controlled rounds.
We run Fundamentals to get you started and All-Levels when you’re ready to push on at your own pace.
We also host a variety of interclub competitions throughout the year for anybody who wants to test their skills in competition.
New to training? Wear comfy kit (ideally, sports top & shorts), we can lend a Gi jacket or gloves on your first visit.
Check the classes timetable and book a trial; see you on the mats.
Adult Classes
Looking for martial arts classes in the Liverpool area that actually fit real life?
At Training Grounds, adults train for more than techniques—we train for confidence, discipline and headspace. Sessions are supportive and ego-free, so beginners to advanced all feel at home. You’ll build practical skills (from BJJ to Muay Thai, Wrestling and MMA), improve fitness and mobility, and de-stress with focused, purposeful work on clean mats alongside a welcoming community.
Coaches meet you where you’re at, help you set goals, and keep you progressing safely. Come for the workout, stay for the people.
Kids Classes
Our kids’ martial arts classes in the Liverpool area focus on more than moves.
We help children grow in confidence, discipline, focus and respect—all while having fun. Classes are structured, friendly and suitable for all levels, with age-appropriate coaching that builds coordination, balance and resilience.
Kids learn how to listen, try hard, and support teammates; parents get clear communication, clean facilities and a positive environment.
Whether your child is shy, energetic or already sporty, we’ll channel that energy into progress—and make training the highlight of their week.
brazilian Jiu Jitsu (GI) Classes
Classes start with a short warm-up and grip/guard movement, then one clear Gi theme (e.g., sweep, pass or escape). You’ll drill with a partner, add a bit of resistance, and—if you’re ready—finish with controlled rounds. All levels welcome: beginners get step-by-step coaching; experienced players refine details and timing.
Why BJJ? Leverage over strength, practical self-defence, problem-solving under pressure, and excellent conditioning.
Gi jackets available to borrow for your first visit.
Submission Grappling (No-Gi) Classes
Fast, technical No-Gi / submission grappling that carries straight into MMA.
We open with movement and ties, teach one position or finish (entries, control, escapes), then build it through progressive drilling and situational rounds.
Suitable for beginners and advanced—coaches scale pace and partners so everyone learns safely.
Why Submission Grappling? sharper transitions, body awareness, takedown defence, and match fitness—without the Gi.
Wrestling Classes
Develop balance, pressure and confident takedowns with Wrestling.
Sessions cover stance, hand fighting, set-ups, entries and finishes and everything in between. Expect short, focused reps and controlled live goes.
All abilities welcome: new starters learn safe falls and fundamentals; experienced wrestlers chain attacks and build pace.
Why wrestling? Explosive strength, relentless cardio, and takedown confidence for BJJ and MMA.
Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) Classes
Train the art of 8 limbs – Muay Thai (Thai Boxing).
After a quick warm-up, we focus on one striking theme—footwork & rhythm, defence, kicks, knees or elbows—then padwork, partner drills and bag work. Controlled sparring is optional and only when you’re ready.
Beginner to advanced: combinations and contact levels are scaled so you progress safely.
Why Muay Thai? timing, power, movement, confidence—and serious conditioning. Gloves/shinguards can be loaned for first sessions.
