This is my first time learning Jiu Jitsu, apart from a few weeks as a child. I was keen to find a place that was friendly, had a good coach and somewhere they focused on learning. Joining Kingston BJJ provided me all of that. Lots of friendly, helpful members, there is emphasis on learning, and many of the members are very experienced and share their tips and advice when sparring which compliments the methodical, yet simple teaching style of Diccon. I'm enjoying myself.

I am a slightly older beginner to BJJ but I could not ask for a nicer club to have become a part of - all the members are so friendly and helpful in guiding my improvement and Diccon the instructor is excellent - tapping into years of experience to give patient, practical and effective instruction on BJJ and self defence. Don't hesitate, come down for a free trial session, I am glad I did!

I have been training at Kingston BJJ for a year now and have loved my experience so far. Everyone at the club is so friendly and welcoming, which creates a great atmosphere on the mats. Diccon has a true passion and enthusiasm for teaching BJJ, you can tell he genuinely cares about your progression. He is thorough with his explanations and will always ensure that you fully understand what’s being taught. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have any previous martial arts experience, if you want to get into BJJ / self-defence, I highly recommend giving this club a go.
