⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I joined LJJ in 2019 and have never looked back! I feel stronger, healthier (both mentally and physically) and more confident. I especially recommend this club to women, I love that I have self defence should I ever need it. We’re so lucky at this club to have so many senseis too! Being taught by the best in the best club in London is just amazing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Am bias as I am a member of the club for four years, and regularly attend. Excellent tutorage from Senseis Ian and Chris, the founding instructor. Lots of black-belts over the years, including women, which isn't always the case at martial-arts clubs. Great way to keep fit and learn something invaluable that builds confidence. Club is diverse, and welcoming to all shapes, sizes and backgrounds.
