Brilliant place with an amazing atmosphere. I am new to BJJ and was made to feel totally at ease and welcomed. The Professors and Coaches are all so helpful and I could not recommend enough. If anyone has any hesitation just come down and see for yourself. This venue also offers classes to all ages and a female only class so can cater for anyone.
