Now is the perfect time to try out one of the world's fastest-growing sports.

Stealth BJJ Macclesfield officially opened at its new location on Bridge Street earlier this year.

Now he's settled in, owner and head coach George Stephens is looking to encourage more people to give Brazilian jiu-jitsu or judo a go.

He said: "Now is the perfect time to give BJJ and judo a try as the sports are growing in popularity; come and see why everyone loves it.

"The benefits include improved physical fitness and mental health, as when you are on the mats, it is hard to think about anything else.

"There are also great social benefits, as we have a fantastic community here."

Macclesfield-born George has been practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu since he was eight years old and first started to realise it could be more than a hobby when he was 15.

In 2022, Stealth BJJ Macclesfield launched at Adelphi Mill in Bollington, later moving to a space on Bond Street.

The club relocated to its new home at Bridge Street Mills at the end of 2025, with George and the team spending two months transforming the space ahead of the launch event in February.

George added: "Regarding my own journey, I have been doing this for 14 years and have loved every minute.

"It has allowed me to meet great people and travel the world competing and training."
