Sorry to post off topic but whats the difference between BJJ and JJ? and why do all mma fighter use bjj instead of jj?

I think your nearest is Redcar BJJ but there are some MMA clubs in that area where you'll be able to grapple.

There is a few BJJ and JJ classes in middlesbrough, i train at Middlesbrough jui-jitsu, but know of atleast 3 other gyms in the area, 2x middlesbrough, 1x stockton 1x thornaby

In my little experience JJ does stand up( not good great though) and BJJ is mostly ground work.Thats my knowledge of it form training at Gracie Barra in Brum and JJ in Tamworth.

Yeah the only difference really is that it originated in Brazil, BJJ just took out the striking i was told, mainly just subs and locks.

The origanal includes judo.
