The Armoury - Martial Arts & Fitness

Fantastic experience: Really nice place, easy to find and amazing coach and all the facilities you need. Thank you for the great advices and rolls coach Andy If you’re looking for a place to get started in BJJ or even expand your current skills, this is the place to be

Fantastic experience: I started training with The Armoury in January after watching my son during the kids classes for a couple of months. I was apprehensive about joining the adults class as I’m a 37 year old with no martial arts experience minus a few weeks of Judo in primary school, and I didn’t really know what to expect, or if I’d fit in. Watching the kids classes eased my nerves and I could tell Andy was just a genuinely nice guy who makes sure everyone is comfortable and is enjoying themselves. Now, after 6 months of BJJ at The Armoury, I feel like I’ve made some brilliant progress, but best of all met some great people. It’s given me a shared passion with my 7 year old boy, who loves the class as much as I do. For anyone who is tempted, but may be feeling nervous or apprehensive about giving it a shot, just do it, you’ll be welcomed with open arms!

Fantastic experience: I was one of Andy’s first students when he opened up in Tadworth, I fell in love with the sport instantly, a few months later I signed my son up to the kids class and he too became obsessed! Andy is a great teacher, he makes it fun, lots of laughs and banter. We have had people of all ages, shapes and sizes join and every one has stayed which tells you everything you need to know. We have all become great friends along the way socializing outside of training also. I highly recommend you give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Our daughter always wants to go for Andy's JJ class, even when sick. Says it all.

Fantastic experience: My son Finn adores going to Tadworth BJJ. He’s naturally quite a shy character and has come out of his shell a lot since joining last September. It’s the one club he gets excited to do and really enjoys coming home to show us the moves he’s learnt. My husband has also joined the adult class now too!! Andy’s a fab teacher! Would recommend to anybody wanting their child (or themselves!) to join!

Fantastic experience: My son started Tadworth BJJ in February, and hasn’t wanted to miss the session since starting. ( even when he wasn’t feeling great he still wanted to watch the class so he didn’t miss anything ) Andy is a fantastically skilled instructor. He makes every student feel welcomed and comfortable. He makes the classes enjoyable, so the children are learning new skills in a fun way and at the same time Andy ensures that they are listening and taking on board all the instructions that he’s giving them to make sure that they are doing what is asked of them as safely as as possible. My son has really come out of his shell and as his mum I’m loving watching his confidence grow. Best thing we did was say “wanna give this a try” and he did and he’s still loving it! The squeals of joy that come from the children for the next activity isn’t something I can describe…. You’ll just have come and hear it for yourselves.

Fantastic experience: I always want to practice BJJ. I did some trial classes but I gave up until I found Andy. He is a great teacher. He is a very skilled martial artist who always takes a good care for his students. From my 10 years martial arts experiences, it is great to practice under Andy's instructions because he always focus on the fundamentals and will give you many good advices during the practice. Also, Andy always invites his friends from other clubs to join and train with us so you will have many opportunities to practice with more advanced and very skills BJJ player, which is very important. I feel that I am very lucky to find Andy. So that, if you are new to BJJ and are looking for a very good starting gym, I strongly recommend Andy and his gyms. It is always fun and enjoyable atmosphere at Tadworth BJJ. Everyone is very friendly and nice and don't worry, they will take care of you. It is not only a club but here we are a 'family'. I decided to send my son, a 8 years old boy, to the club where he is not ly learning a new important skills, fitness but also he makes a lot of new good friends. He practiced some other martial arts before such as Kendo (which I have been doing for 10 years), Karate but now he is addicted to BJJ and he can't wait for every sessions. He is so happy to be part of the kids team. I can't wait to send my second son to the club soon when he is 7 years old. All in all, I am very happy to train under Any and be part of Tadworth BJJ. I strongly recommend everyone Tadworth BJJ and Andy, especially new beginner who is looking for BJJ. Believe me, you will be addicted to BJJ.
