Training in Mossley

Mostly martial arts, in hill country.

Mossley is a martial arts town. Gracie Jiu Jitsu Tameside teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu to adult beginners, children and, in a women-only class, girls and women from 14. Evade Martial Arts, Dragons Martial Arts Centre and The Works Wing Chun add more, and for team sport there's Mossley AFC and Little Strikers.

The town sits in the Pennine foothills, in the upper Tame valley on the western edge of Saddleworth Moor. Hartshead Pike, a hill with a stone tower, looks over Mossley, Ashton and Saddleworth. Mossley AFC also has a running section, which is one way to find people who already know the routes.
