My 12 year old son has recently joined and attends the BJJ and the kickboxing sessions. He thoroughly enjoys every class and is building in confidence already. I would say, if you have a child who is a little apprehensive about joining on their own, then they really shouldn't be. Everyone is so welcoming and my son is making friends already. The coaches are all amazing and demonstrate the skills in a way that they can learn but not become overwhelmed. They make each lesson fun and engaging whilst also ensuring there is a high level of discipline and respect - not only for the coaches, but for each other. Being purposely built, the foam sprung floor allows them to train effectively, and as a parent I must admit it gives me peace of mind. As an added bonus, the facilities are superb. Spotlessly clean and obviously very well maintained. If you are considering joining I would say go for it, you won't be disappointed.
