Great both for fitness and self-defence. In these classes you will learn how to defend yourself both in standing and on the ground and be able to practise your techniques during sparring.

We have been there for 4 classes so far. My 5 year old is enjoying it a lot and also he is learning some self defence techniques with the same... read more set of children. I'm sure it will help any children to tackle the bullying and increase self confidence. The master is very patient with children and dedicated. Now summer holidays have started. Hence looking forward to resume in September. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for it. Thanks.

May 27, 2025Alex PattleI'd not trained in jiu-jitsu for about two years when I decided to restart, and Joao was really welcoming – as was everyone else at the club – making it... read more an easy transition back into BJJ. Joao is attentive during the sections of class in which we drill techniques, clear in his instruction, and club members are supportive and considerate during sparring – while still being competitive in a friendly way. There are also classes every day of the week (and at a variety of times), meaning there's sure to be something that works for you. Would wholly recommend.

Great club, tried a few in the past and this one is definitely the best for a number of reasons. Firstly, they teach a style of BJJ that I... read more enjoy, more of an old school style and with takedowns and judo throws. They also have foundations class which is more self defence based (but any of the classes would honestly teach you that too!) and great for those starting out (especially the ladies!). Secondly, there is very much a community vibe here. Everybody is nice to roll with, and your safety is always considered. Take it from a petite female - I've never once felt uncomfortable rolling with anybody in this club. Lastly, the team of instructors here are all highly skilled and great people. They always take time with each person to make sure they understand. Not much else to add other than come and try it you will not regret it 🙂

Highly recommended. João is an exceptional BJJ instructor who excels in nurturing children's confidence and fostering friendships.
January 15, 2024Alexandra Beneduce van CruysenMy 7 year old son started BJJ in January of this year. He enjoyed classes from day 1. The coach, Joao, is highly experienced and great with kids, finding a... read more great balance between having fun and more serious learning. My son has tried a few martial arts classes and this one is the one he has enjoyed the most and stuck with the longest. The children's classes are becoming quite popular and therefore busier than ideal, but Joao is introducing additional time slots (weekends too) and that should help with numbers. It's got a family feel to it, I'd recommend it to any parent considering BJJ for their child. Note adult classes are also available!
