Training in Chelmer Village

Jiu-jitsu, rugby and the river.

Chelmer Village is a 1978 estate, and its training is a short list. The Jiu Jitsu Sanctuary and The Performance Centre are the two indoor options, and Chelmsford Rugby Football Club is listed here too. At the eastern end, Chancellor Park's sports area has two tennis courts, football pitches, bowling greens and a pavilion, all floodlit.

The River Chelmer runs along the southern and eastern edges, and that stretch is part of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, so a towpath run starts on your doorstep. Jiu-jitsu is a partner sport by design, and a towpath is better with company too.
