My partner and I booked in for a trial session and everyone was really welcoming and friendly. Paul really took the time to explain and demonstrate different techniques and gave us a great introduction to BJJ. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • a year ago

Great community and excellent place to train! I started training at Putney BJJ almost a year ago and was completely new to the sport. The team, lead by professor Paul, were excellent from the start. I couldn't have felt more welcome and at ease stepping completely out of my comfort zone. I've found the availability of daily classes to fit any schedule and with limited numbers at any session there is always focus on the individual. This focus has been a huge benefit to my development as I chase down a blue belt and I have enjoyed seeing and celebrating others develop around me to achieve their own goals. Classes are well structured for learning but always maintain a sense of fun. I would 100% recommend for the opportunity to try something new / different, mostly to meet a great team of people but also for the feeling of development and accomplishment that comes with each session (and even more so with every promotion!).
