ABOUT 866 JIU JITSU

WHY 866

Like the ancient Vikings we are building a clan. A community of likeminded individuals, setting high standards to push ourselves and each other to achieve our goals. We are surrounding ourselves with people at the top of their game in their chosen fields, people who inspire us, who help us to grow and realise what is possible within ourselves.

ABOUT US

What started with the statement “you know what would be cool…” and many late nights in conversation, 866 was born.

866 takes its name from the Viking invasions. Where they invaded, captured and conquered the city of York, making it the capitol of Viking territory in Northern England.


With a combined 15 years served in Jiu Jitsu, and over a decade of experience in practical course management, the 866 team are committed to continually looking to push the bar and propel ourselves forward to bring you the biggest and best grappling and wellness event in the country.


Since our first event in 2023 we have gone from strength to strength, from working with some of the best names in UK grappling to moving in to our new facility, 866 continues to grow.

Our goal is to bring you expert Jiu Jitsu tuition, delivered by experienced coaches. Holding sessions in both Gi and NoGi aimed at providing you with new ideas, principles and concepts to improve your Jiu Jitsu game. Additionally interactive lectures and workshops delivered by professionals at the top of their games, helping to guide you in the holistic approach to wellness. These sessions are designed to educate and give you the knowledge and skills to improve your overall performance.


Our team creates a safe and positive environment, giving you the motivation to unlock your true potential and enable you to reach your personal goals both on and off the mat.
