Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best things I did was joining Koning. Everybody makes you feel so welcome, and despite being in my mid 30s, I have been able to progress my Jiu Jitsu skills at a really good level. The support is great, the training is great, and I have made some friends for life.

Fantastic experience: Koning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is truly a special place. The community of students and coaches is welcoming and inclusive, creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone. The coaching staff, led by main coach Helton, is top-notch and dedicated to helping each student achieve their goals, whether that be to become a competitive athlete or simply to stay fit and learn self-defense. The training program is well-rounded and tailored to the needs of each student, allowing them to progress at their own pace. One of the things that sets Koning apart is the emphasis on safety. The coaches are highly experienced and are constantly monitoring the training to ensure that everyone is practicing techniques correctly and safely. This is particularly important for those new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as it allows them to learn and progress without fear of injury. Another great thing about Koning is the team spirit and camaraderie among the students. The team mates are friendly and supportive, and there is a strong sense of community. This is evident in the regular team events and socials outside of training hours, which help to further strengthen the bonds between the members. Overall, Koning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym is an excellent place to learn and practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The coaching, facilities, and community are all top-notch, making it a great choice for anyone looking to improve their skills and fitness. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Great place for both newbies and experienced bjj players. Very welcoming and supportive group. Community welcoming both introverts and extroverts. It's convenient to have gym around the mats too!

Chris Hayes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great high level jujitsu, Good work ethic from coaches and higher belts, Gym itself is high end with loads of machines. I’ve tried everywhere in Norwich for jits and this is the place

Ashley Fromberg 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I visited this gym whilst in Norwich for business in summer 2023, great place and very welcoming staff and training partners. The session I attended was Gi and was taught some high percentage chokes with great attention to detail. The mats are at the back of a working gym with all sorts of weights to use so would be good to get both typical gym session and BJJ training in the same day. I'll be back to train here when I'm next in town, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Joined Koning 12 months ago and it has completely changed the way I view the gym. Every member is friendly, welcoming and helpful - a fantastic all round atmosphere full of motivating people. Can’t recommend Koning, Helton and Rabbi enough.

Jessica Shevlin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A really welcoming, friendly gym. I’ve tried various gyms before but never felt overly confident - Koning helped to change that! Everyone is very supportive and kind and I now actually really enjoy going. I also have PT sessions with Rabbi there who is so patient, friendly and motivating! I couldn’t recommend this gym (and Rabbi) enough!

Fantastic experience: I started Koning about 3-4 months ago with very little Jiu-Jitsu knowledge over the few months the members & coach Helton have been very welcoming and supportive which has kept me motivated to keep training harder. I have seen myself come a long way since I first began and can see myself staying for a long time very professional environment would recommend to anyone looking to take up martial arts.

Fantastic experience: Helton is a great coach and a better friend. I have been working with Helton a while now and his ability and knowledge are second to very few. If you’re looking to train in a private setting he has all the equipment and knowledge you need. As well as some fantastic classes if you’re wanting to learn a new skill

Fantastic experience: Best Pt in Norwich ❤️

Philip 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great communication, excellent teaching instincts, impressive technique and high intelligence for the profession. Training is always positive, and group energy and morale is exceptionally high. It gives training the enjoyment whilst pushing hard for goals and skills. Deep intuition of trainee limits and how to push them, and a progression consistency which always feels like a workout. Keep it up dude, looking forward to training next time

Malcolm Coldicott 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Helton or Kenny as he is also known I've known his about 2years. As the mature man I am was a little bothered about not being too fit and whether I could keep up. Kenny understood this straight away and tailored my fitness programme accordingly. He varies my sessions from week to week to make it enjoyable and fun he is patient and knows exactly what one can achieve together. He comes highly recommended. Malco.

Fantastic experience: Helton is a great Personal Trainer I had a privilege to follow his fitness program and instructions.He has the ability to see what is the best for you and how you can progress in short space of time without completely killing you...Joke aside I am looking forward to work with Helton in the future and collaborate with him on future retreats and programs.Great guy.

Eva Urikova 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started training with Helton in the gym, joining Bootcamp and circuits classes and he Is the first class trainer who create a culture of hard work, maximum effort and achievable goals. Great at motivating the class or individuals as well as the professional approach. Due to lockdown circumstances of course I’m unable to train as much as I used to but he is being brilliant support with his online classes or even personal advices. I am happy with my results and feel so much better physically and mentally. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get serious about their training.

Robbie Hall 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have personally experienced sessions with Helton through his Mma class and one to one personal training sessions. I found his instructions easy to follow and the workout in itself always rewarding, his classes are always friendly and you meet some great new faces. When I first began in his mma class I had next to no knowledge in Martial arts within a year he had me competing in jujitsu and in the best shape I had been in for years. I still continue to train under Helton Antonio and would recommend his services to anyone interested in finding a reliable and knowledgeable coach to better there skills in martial arts or even just getting your personal fitness goals in check.
