StandStrong Academy is a smaller martial arts academy in Bristol, offering martial arts lessons for adults and children in a supportive, welcoming environment.
Our classes are intentionally kept smaller so every student is known, supported, and coached as an individual - not lost in crowded classes that lack care or attention.
If you’re searching for martial arts schools near you that feel friendly, inclusive, and free from macho gym culture, we’re proud to offer a genuine alternative.
Smaller classes, real support
As a local Bristol academy, we focus on quality coaching over quantity of students, ensuring every member receives attention and guidance.

For me BJJ has been hugely rewarding. I have enjoyed to watch my skill set grow and have fun with a great community of people. It has taught me a lot alongside helping me improve my self defence skills. I really reccommend it whether you want to win medals, learn self defence or just have fun.

Hannah and Sam offer an amazing experience at StandStrong. It's been transformative for my fitness and my martial arts skills have come on leaps and bounds. Such an amazing community.

My daughter has been training with StandStrong since the age of 5 (now 9). StandStrong has helped her physical and mental development, and she is growing into a strong and confident young woman, as a result. The team are really passionate and committed to the kids and their growth.
