I was a complete beginner when I joined a month or two ago. My experience thus far has been fantastic. The thing that stands out the most is how friendly and welcoming everyone has been. I did a free taster session, Ben was great. The coaches are clearly very good at what they do but manage to make it accessible, even to a complete beginner like me. The more experienced players help the beginners, it is a lovely supportive atmosphere. My experience of the culture here is one of respect, comradery and fun. Six session in and I am really enjoying it.

RG Darlington is such a great club to be part of. As a female it’s a little scary…but I love keeping fit and needed something a little more challenging. I’m a little shy at times so I was a little worried about joining. But I’ve never felt more comfortable plus it’s an amazing work out!!! I would highly recommend joining. You’ll have the best fun. Plus get super strong ✨✨✨

Feel really lucky this was the first ju-jitsu gym I had tried. Everyone made me feel so welcome straight away. Patient, kind and supportive coaches. Amazing community that im so lucky to be apart of. My son who is 11 also attends this gym, He was very shy and timid, the kids coaches have really helped him without even knowing how special they are . Couldnt recommend enough .
