"Ben is a patient, methodical teacher who makes learning Jiu-jitsu a real pleasure. Always calm, always welcoming, and an absolute expert in BJJ.
Daisy Z
"Ben is a Brazilian JIu-Jitsu brown belt under Newbury BJJ's head blackbelt instructor Stephen Byrne. Ben has a very solid all-round Jiu-jitsu game in both gi and no-gi and as a trained teacher he knows how to deliver wonderfully clear and concise classes. His warm and approachable teaching style along with his calm manner ensures everyone in the room understands the concepts and techniques. He adapts brilliantly to his audience.
Stephen Byrne (Blackbelt instructor – Newbury BJJ)
"Ben is a fantastic coach, and a lovely guy, and luckily for me, seemingly endlessly patient. I learned so much from him that I still use today."

Coach
Ben Crompton
I am a qualified teacher with extensive experience in therapeutic approaches within schools – my aim is to implement these skills in my Jiu Jitsu coaching.
I have always maintained an interest in martial arts having started training as a 7-year-old at Newbury Judo Club under Jean Beagley.
Through the years I have had experience of both sambo, judo, freestyle wrestling under Ranjit Singh at Slough Wrestling Club and Japanese Jiu Jitsu under Phil Collins at Reading Jiu Jitsu.
In 2017 I joined Newbury BJJ where I found a home under the guidance of head coach, Stephen Byrne. This led, in turn, to my development as a coach.
After moving to the Isle of Wight I had a warm welcome from the jiu jitsu community and decided to open my own space in Newport.
I am a Newbury BJJ/Paraestra brown belt and member of the British Martial Arts and Boxing Association.
