About

The instructors and gym behind Beast Jiu-Jitsu

The atmosphere we dreamed of as kids. Beast Jiu-Jitsu was born from a simple idea: the gym you look forward to. No ego, no aggression – mats where intelligent, respectful people get stronger together.

The school

Where we come from

The club is an affiliate of Twisted Jiu Jitsu – one of the largest and best-run BJJ schools in Bulgaria. Our kids' and adults' programs are built with the school's methodology and support.

Our head instructor spent more than 10 years on those mats. Touring nearly every judo club in the country with the national team, he never found an atmosphere like it – friendly, supportive and demanding at once. That is what he is bringing to Plovdiv.

Head instructor

Petko Nedelchev

BJJ brown belt and judo black belt. A European and national medalist. But what sets him apart is his ability to break complex material down into plain language – and to make almost anyone feel welcome and at home.

The judo + BJJ combination covers the full spectrum: standing and ground, top game and bottom game.
