Fantastic experience: I’ve recently joined Patello BJJ and I absolutely love it. I felt very welcomed straight away. The experienced members will always take the time to help out. Rodolfo is a great teacher, a very funny guy too. I’ve learnt so much in my short time here already. The classes are a great workout as we get to roll a lot and practice what we have learnt. I fully recommend joining, I’m glad that I did.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Patello since May 2023 and I am giving the club 5* because it is a fantastic place to learn BJJ with an amazingly experienced coach in Rodolfo. In addition to that, the team is super friendly and fun which makes going back to each training session each time very easy. I would highly recommend this club to anyway wanting to learn BJJ.

Fantastic experience: I have just recently joint this club and i am already hooked, the club is very beginner friendly and everyone is welcoming whilst also keeping things competitive and challenging. Rodolfo is a very good coach and no matter the skill level will make sure all students go home with a new skill or technique to master. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I cannot emphasise how lucky we are to have Rodolfo Patello in our area and it really is a special club that he has built. I have been training here for just over 2 weeks but my journey in martial arts that started 30 years ago and I can honestly say this is one of the best clubs I've been to or seen. My stepson has aldo been training there 6 weeks and everyone has been so good with him and he loves it!! The higher belts are so patient, friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great. The lessons are frequent and are a really good duration and it really is fantastic value for money It really is suitable for all ages, body types and fitness levels and everyone really will make you feel welcome.

Fantastic experience: Great teacher , great team ! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: A great club; wonderful people - very welcoming and willing to help. I have found it a great space to learn and challenge myself. I am very grateful to Rodolfo and all the members.

Fantastic experience: Before going to my first session at Patello I was really apprehensive, but when I arrived everyone introduced themselves and were so friendly. Everyone is so patient and willing to teach you what they know, and it has an environment which makes you feel like you can ask questions. Rodolfo is a fantastic professor; he has an unbelievable amount of experience and has such a skilful way of teaching which can make you understand complex moves in a matter of minutes. He encourages you to ask questions and genuinely wants you to succeed. I’ve now been at Patello for almost 6 months and I go 3 times a week. I enjoy it so much and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu who wants high calibre teaching for a reasonable price, and a community of likeminded individuals who want to both learn and help others succeed.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic BJJ Club. Whether you're new to the sport or whether you're an experienced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner you'll feel equally welcomed. Rodolfo, the Head Instructor, is very friendly and knowledgeable and will be there to support you on each step as required. I Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I joined the club in November 2023 as a beginner and am now thoroughly addicted which I can put down to Radolfo's great instruction, welcoming team and friendly atmosphere! The training times are convenient and there's no pressure to attend the whole session so can train and roll when it's convenient. If you are looking for a new hobby or gym then you will have no regrets joining this club!

Fantastic experience: Great experience at the club, I really like the long sessions I can tell I will progress fast if I keep training here

Fantastic experience: Excellent club everyone is very welcoming and friendly. Head coach is very knowledgeable and a grate teacher. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Personally, I find this club amazing, despite being 14 years old, I am welcomed, encouraged, and helped throughout confusion, or struggle, lessons are always detailed, with thorough drilling to ensure understanding , and in turn, translates to great skills when necessary.

Fantastic experience: I joined Patello Bjj last month having never trained Bjj before. Everyone is extremely welcoming, Rodolfo is a great teacher who takes his time to make sure you understand every detail of the technique he’s teaching. I was most surprised how all the other students are so willing to share there knowledge with me and correct any mistakes I may be making.

Fantastic experience: I joined Patello BJJ to improve my fitness and to try something new. Since joining I have learnt new skills, developed my cardio/endurance and met new friends. I felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the doors and all the higher belts always take their time to help me develop. I look forward to going each week to train under Rodolfo and Paul and rolling with everyone is always a blast.

Fantastic experience: Great club with quality rolls and a family atmosphere. I have been looking for a new club and after 5min here I knew this is it. All welcome, beginners and experienced alike. Great coach and training partners, convenient class times and nobody makes a fuss if you can't stay for the whole thing.

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly club with a great atmosphere. Everyone very friendly and keen to teach, awesome place to learn

Fantastic experience: Been training there for 7 months now and it’s the best decision I ever made. Everyone there is extremely friendly and helpful in improving my skills. I hope to continue coming here for many years to come

Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere, and you learn quickly here. Good exercise and you can take it as hard or as easy as you like depending on your goals. Fully recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn jiu jitsu, everyone is very friendly and won’t hesitate to help you out. Rodolfo is a great instructor with a great attention to detail, would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Though I could only commit to 3 months before having to relocate I was made to feel as welcome as any member of the Patello family. It boasts a fun, yet serious atmosphere where learning and curiosity are encouraged by both instructors and veteran attendees. Rodolfo is a legitimate Jiu Jitsu warrior who wants to see those that are willing to work hard succeed.

Fantastic experience: Been to 2 other Jiu Jitsu gyms in the area and this was by far my first choice. It's half the price of some of the other clubs but I can't really see why. It's very rare thing in BJJ clubs that you will spend a decent amount of time with coloured belts right from the start, meaning you'll learn a lot faster than most other places. My very first lesson I had 2 purple belts spend a full half hour with me taking me through some side-control basics. You don't get that anywhere else. Learning BJJ isn't easy. It can be overwhelming in the beginning, but nowhere else nearby will make it as easy and approachable. It can be a bit intimidating going to a new club for the first time but everyone was very friendly and made it easy for me. I almost talked myself out of turning up to my first lesson, but it will probably be the best decision I have made this year.

Fantastic experience: Rodolfo Patello’s jiu jitsu club is one of the most informative places to learn BJJ as I have learnt having zero knowledge of any martial art, lack of fitness and pre existing injuries. All belts within the club have motivated, encouraged and pursued in taking me a level of knowledge I thought I would never achieve. I have sparred with all belts from beginners to Mr Patello himself learning theory as well as practicing sequences in detail. Highly recommend this club much more than others.

Fantastic experience: Great teaching, the best people and an incredible experience. Would never want to go anywhere else after training for a year at Patello. Rodolfo knows his stuff and everyone makes you feel very welcome.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Patello Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club for anyone looking to improve their martial arts skills in a friendly and supportive environment. From the moment you step into the club, you are welcomed with open arms and made to feel like part of the family. Rodolfo/Paul and the students are incredibly friendly and always willing to help each other, creating an inclusive and camaraderie atmosphere. One of the things I appreciate most about the club is its focus on problem-solving. Rodolfo/Paul take the time to break down techniques and offer alternative solutions to make them more effective, allowing students to develop their problem-solving skills and improve their overall game. Patello club also places great emphasis on the values of honour, loyalty, and hard work. These values are instilled in students from day one and are reinforced through the teaching and practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is evident that these values are not just words on a wall but principles that the club truly believes in and lives by. Patello Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club is an excellent place to learn and train in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you want to improve your martial arts skills while developing valuable life skills such as problem-solving, honour, loyalty, and hard work, this club is the perfect fit for you.

Fantastic experience: Patello’s is is an incredible club with incredible people. From my very first lesson as a complete beginner I was being shown all the basic moves with much higher belts. They really made me feel welcome. I would recommend this club to anyone. You get to learn from a master at the game who embodies everything you want from the sport. A true master at his craft. I’ve been out with an injury of late and can not wait to get myself back down at the club.

Fantastic experience: Joined at the end of 2022 and was immediately made to feel welcome and part of the team. The atmosphere is friendly and the level is good with a range of body types which make for some varied and exciting rolls. Rodolfo is very knowledgeable and rolls regularly with students, it's a fantastic place to train and I'm very happy there.

Fantastic experience: Having never trained Ju Jitsu before it is always a little nerve-racking walking in to your first lesson, not knowing what to expect & what welcome you may receive. I am please to say it has been a fantastic place to train, not only for its welcoming community but also for the exceptional coaching provided. Whether you are a newcomer to BJJ or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll feel right at home here, and undoubtedly see significant progress in your skills.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn and a friendly atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of training under Rodolfo at this club for over 2 years now. I’ve never trained at a place more welcoming and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Full time training schedule, everyone is friendly and welcoming and sessions are 2 hours long. Extremely good value for money and caters to everybody.

Fantastic experience: good club to start in BJJ, A close and friendly teacher and the rest of the classmates also very helpful. Very good atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Friendly, knowledgeable and insightful team. Rodolfo, is a master at this sport and has helped me grow on the mats and also off the mats. Couldn’t recommend this club enough. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming. Rodolfo is very experienced and gives a lot of support to all students. Highly recommend anyone no matter your level to come and train.

Fantastic experience: Went down to learn BJJ didn't know what to expect everyone down there are very humble and respectful everyone takes the time to help everyone out. The drills are technical so learning is there key objective so if you went down you'll definitely learn something new each time.

Fantastic experience: This gym is an extremely friendly, hard working, welcoming group of people and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is new to either Jiu Jitsu, or the local area. Patello’s consists of all skill levels from people doing their first session to high level black belts all intertwining with each other, sharing their knowledge and learning together. It is the only gym around that provides so many classes with the freedom to simply pick and choose when to attend, for a very affordable price!

Fantastic experience: Have restarted Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since a month now at Patello BJJ and has been great. I have trained in many places over the years and the family atmosphere here is second to none. Great students and great coach made me feel a part of the family from day one.

Fantastic experience: I did a lot of research on internet to find the best Brazilian Jiu jitsu club, and Patello BJJ is the only club that offers full time training, 5 times a week, 2 hours every session. So I joined Patello Brazilian jiu jitsu, and I must say it’s the best decision I made, it’s an amazing place, the professor is very kind, respectful, welcoming and helpful. And the training has made big changes in my life and helped me a lot.

Fantastic experience: Started my jiu jitsu journey 10 months ago under Rodolfo Patello and have enjoyed every second of it so far. The knowledge and skills I’ve obtained from not only Rodolfo but from every coloured belt has been incredible. Everyone who walks through the door is made to feel welcome and will be well looked after. Everyone is super patient when training with beginners and will do all they can to help. Lessons are 2 hours long giving you plenty of time to learn the specific techniques of that day/week and still have time for a good amount of sparing rounds. You will be better at jiu jitsu every time you step off the mats! Proud to be part of the team! Oss

Fantastic experience: Brand new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I can’t believe how lucky I was to find this place, as soon as I walked in I was welcomed and everyone introduced themselves which made me feel instantly at ease. Professor Rodolfo Patello offers professional tuition delivered at a manageable pace and will take time to break techniques down even further to ensure that everyone gets the best out of the session. Everyone else echoes this awesome teaching environment and helps each other out. Nice friendly bunch creating a community feel. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great environment to learn jujitsu! Everyone is really friendly and was made to feel at home from the very beginning. Professor Rodolfo Patello is a excellent teacher if you want to learn jujitsu this is the best place

Fantastic experience: I trained here for a few sessions earlier this year and found it to be a great club. Rodolfo is an extremely knowledgeable experienced black belt who is welcoming to everyone who comes down. Him along with everyone else made me feel very welcome. Great training, with a great instructor and a great bunch of people. This club has a great vibe.

Fantastic experience: Joined just under a year with no martial arts experience and was instantly addicted. Everyone at the gym is extremely welcoming and wants to help you grow. This includes the instructor, Rodolfo, who is always happy to speak to his students about any concerns or questions they may have. Due to this being a smaller gym you get a real personal experience where a lot of attention is given to each student as well as having a real family feel. Highly recommend to begginer and experienced BJJ players alike!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place if you want to learn BJJ and meet new and lovely people keen to help you learn the techniques and the drills. I joined them recently and all the members I have known so far have welcomed me with open arms. For a person like me, who thinks that small gyms are better than big ones, I was glad to find this small place near home with such a great and friendly atmosphere. Rodolfo, the instructor, is very experienced and helpful and makes you feel comfortable since the very first moment you step in there. Edit: it's been three years after I wrote this review and I can tell that my opinion has not changed a bit. I am very glad of belonging to this club and to the Patello family.

Fantastic experience: Great environment for learning BJJ. Caters to all ability’s and everybody there is friendly and willing to learn from one another. Rodolfo, the head coach, is a pleasure to be around and is a great teacher. If you’re completely new or experienced it’s an awesome place to train!

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and professional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school. The instructor (Professor Rodolfo Patello) is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the unique thing is ALL the students from beginner to senior grades are welcoming and spend a lot of time helping each other. The work ethic is amazing, hard (hard) work but a lot of fun doing it. If you are looking for a family feel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, I thoroughly recommend d coming down for a trial session, I’m confident after doing so you’ll soon be part of the Patello family.

Fantastic experience: I joined Patello about two months ago. I had a stressful work routine and decided to try this club as a way to exercise and keep fit. From day one I was made to feel welcome. The coach is very patient and a great teacher. Despite his level of skill he always spends time with the beginners. The rest of the group are also lovely people. You always get time to roll under the watchful eye of the coach and the seniors who always know how far to go with the beginners. They have made a huge difference to my confidence and my cardio. Families and kids are always welcome here.

Fantastic experience: I've been training for around 6 months, and jiu jitsu has become a highlight of every week for me. Great people and atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Rodolfo is a talented teacher and it's a pleasure to learn from him and the rest of the team at Patello jiu-jitsu.

Fantastic experience: The Best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Club Around! I have been to a few different MMA and BJJ clubs and none of them compare to Patello Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Everyone is so friendly and happy to help, I wouldn't train anywhere else. Master Rodolfo has an extensive knowledge of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and is by far the best coach I have ever worked with. There is nowhere else you can get this level of coaching at such a good price.

Fantastic experience: I'm 2 lessons in and getting so much from Rodolfo and the experienced members, it's an atmosphere to learn an amazing and complex martial art

Can't recommend the club highly enough- can I give more than 5*'s? :p
