About us

Rise In Unity began life as Huddersfield Community BJJ, founded on a simple yet powerful belief-  that unity and community can change lives.

What started as a way to bring people together through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has grown into something much bigger.

Today, Rise In Unity offers far more than martial arts. We provide a range of fitness programmes, community events, and support services focused on improving the well-being of people from all walks of life.

Our journey began after seeing how many young people and families were unable to afford sports activities and the uniforms needed to take part. We knew we could help, and we were determined to do more.

Bringing people together, breaking down barriers, and making a difference has become the heart of what we do.

Rise In Unity is about more than sport. It’s about:

• Building confidence
   
• Developing resilience
   
• Creating opportunities
   

We believe in supporting people both on and off the mats.

We’re currently working towards offering accredited qualifications to help individuals build valuable skills for employment and personal growth.

In the future, we also hope to take students abroad to experience different cultures, make meaningful international connections, and develop life skills that support future careers.

We’re excited to be launching our Unity Hub, a new space for young people offering safe, positive activities, mentoring, and support.

This is just one of the ways we continue to grow and adapt to meet the evolving needs of our community.
