James 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with excellent BJJ classes for all levels, led by three incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and patient black belts, each with their own signature style, and supported by some excellent brown belts. The fellow practitioners that make up the classes are from all walks of life, spanning all ages, genders and abilities. This helps create a laid back and welcoming environment, with everyone happy to help and/or offer advice on techniques and, most importantly, have fun along the way on each of their respective BJJ-journeys.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place... brilliant staff.. such an airy cool space to exercise with fantastic range of martial arts classes as well as all the usual gym equipment and weights. They have also put in place very careful social distancing measures ahead of re-opening as soon as the law allows At the moment they're only able to provide facilities for elite athletes until the UK lockdown ends ... roll on July 2020 xx
