Fantastic experience: Moved to the area last year, wanted to learn something new, but also something I’ve wanted to do for years. Farnham martial arts made it happen! A very welcoming family club with knowledgeable teachers and fantastic members. Mark, all credit to you, your team and everyone that makes it happen

Fantastic experience: Joined up in Nov 2022, no experience at all, just a fan of bjj. Very welcoming gym with brilliant coaches. I now also take my daughters to the kids classes. Great way to keep fit, stay strong and get choked out .

Fantastic experience: This place offers a great range of martial arts. Beginners are very welcome and the experience level from the instructors is extremely high so anyone wanting to improve their abilities will find it possible and enjoyable. The members are very friendly and the venue is always clean and professional. There’s a sliding scale of membership to suit if you can’t make all the sessions so all in all I’d give it 6 stars! Thanks. Carl.

Fantastic experience: My daughter is in the 4-7 kids class, Mark is extremely patient and encouraging with her. Its great that there are a mix of boys and girls in both the 4-7 and 8-15 classes. Great for building confidence and resilience in youngsters.

Fantastic experience: After first visiting Farnham Martial Arts to take my son (5) for a “taster session” I was impressed. I was struck with how much people really enjoy martial arts, how people of all ages get along with the common goal of bettering themselves. I was met with happy welcoming faces from the first visit, which I credit to the positive environment combined with exemplary teaching staff. The whole set up is very professional and spotlessly clean, the atmosphere is an equal balance of fun and discipline. In short my son now goes twice a week and is always talking about how much he likes Ju Jitsu and he loves the instructor (Mark, who is excellent with pupils of all ages) I also go twice a week to the beginner BJJ class, it’s great for anyone looking to try something new (I’m 44 and was surprised that this is an entirely common age bracket for martial arts). Along with great techniques I’ve learned how much fun this all is and getting fitter and slimmer is almost a given with regular attendance. Give it a go! This really is a 10 star establishment.

Fantastic experience: Best place for bjj in surrey/hampshire. Mark is very knowledgeable and a brilliant teacher. I’ve trained all over the world including Brazil and mark helps me understand better than any of them, everyone else who trains there is very welcoming and friendly which is also a great bonus.

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors here, Mark is very welcoming and always have time to help. Myself and my 3 children train with this gym and it’s brilliant!

Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone, I started training BJJ here back in June so I'm still new to the sport. I am glad I chose to start here everyone has been very welcoming and helpful, not only the coaches but also the other students. As I said i would recommend to anyone interested in martial arts or even for the fitness side of things.

Fantastic experience: Mark is the best BJJ instructor around. Joseph is bit of a pleb but he’s an excellent Thai Boxing coach, although I reckon I could have him! Wouldn’t train anywhere else! Great group of guys. Hope I get a stripe for this positive review

Fantastic experience: My husband and children went here today and I can honestly say it was fantastic ! The owner Mark is so patient and kept my children occupied whilst teaching them new skills. I felt at ease straight away and so did my children , who normally would be completely unsettled in a new environment. I would highly recommend to anyone that’s looking forward to something new and I am looking forward to the family classes they offer. It’s lovely to have a new small business in the local area and looking forward to returning!

Fantastic experience: My son and I have been regulars here since they opened recently, taking bjj and the dads and lads classes, and we have been blown away with their diverse knowledge and the ability to pass this on to all age levels. Warm, welcoming, friendly gym. Would highly recommend for all levels and capabilities

He has extensive experience teaching both adults and kids, which include those among the top MMA athletes in the country.
