Been coming here for 3 weeks. I am 43 now and finally made the first step. It was scary walking in for the first time but I couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Paul is a great instructor and there are no ego's here, just great people who are happy to pass on knowledge and also educational pain. Already this feels like a lifelong hobby if my body can take it and I have bought a Gi. I'm still sore from the first lesson but in a good way.

I have been a member since August 2019, after leaving my former Jiu-Jitsu school and a long absence away I was luckily recommended to attend WIJJF. Since I have had massive improvements and it's down to the quality coaching and guidance from Paul. From Jiu-Jitsu, striking and Paul's genuine interest in you and your well-being, I can confidently say it is the best school around. WIJJF is significantly cheaper than other gyms with far more feasible payment options, for the number of sessions there is daily, quality of training and price its a no brainer. Lastly, everyone is always willing to help you and its the best place to better yourself.
