Fantastic experience: The Mat Academy is a brilliant place!! I was looking to improve fitness levels and to learn new things. Having an average skill set from my younger 20s at the UFC centre, I didnt feel confident on attending classes due to the quality/level of fighters they have but never once felt like I shouldn't be there. 2 months on and attending MMA Beginners and Jujistsu I leave every session feeling productive and educated. I cant wait to book my next class and to get my daughter involved with the kids jujistsu. Amazing coaches and humble experienced members.
Thank you sir. Happy to have you at the Academy

Fantastic experience: I signed my son up for jiu jitsu classes to help him with his first year in tackling with rugby and wow did things progress!! He now attends all of the kids classes and loves every minute there! Lewis and Wayne might be scary looking but are absolutely fantastic, my son had major confidence problems before starting here but is now flying. It's not just the skills they learn it's the whole lifestyle they learn it's great for kids and teaches them properly how to channel aggression and he has made friends for life here including the coaches also point out that having had a slipped disk in my back 2 years ago yoga with Lewis Long has helped more than all the months of chiropractors ever has
Thank you
