Great space! Attended a taster session and all I have to say are great stuff. Organized, clean, friendly with clear instructions. This is coming from somebody with absolutely 0 grappling / martial art experience. If in doubt, I'd say give it a try.

Dropped in from Canada on vacation and everyone was so welcoming and high level. Class was amazing, lots of ecological games to play at your own pace, great rolls afterwards as well. Highly recommend. Perfect vibes

Have just started at this place so maybe take with a pinch of salt but it's honestly such a great vibe! I've been looking for a while for a place that has both structured learning but isn't rigid and overly formal. It has a really welcoming vibe to It. It also dispels with a lot of the things that people hate about other gyms like them forcing you to wear certain stuff from the gym, locking you in for ages, having instructors that are a bit "off'. Max seems like a really great teacher - super patient and helps you to figure things out based on principles. The other instructors like Fiona/Anja (sp?) are the same and give great pointers. I think it's really clear that the people running this have thought a lot about the problems with existing places. I live about 10mins away so I'm actually super glad such a great place is on my doorstep!
