Pulga is a great place to train. Expert coaching and the competition team shows that around world winning various comps, it’s like a second home to me now. There is no pressure to compete, just all around great place for all ages to train whether it’s for fitness, self defence, go through the belt system or compete. Every person there makes you feel welcome. I’d recommend it to anyone.

After trialling a few gyms in the area I've settled on Pulga as that had the highest level of coaching and selection of classes available. I was made to feel very welcome and you can tell head coach Dave is a genuinely great person as it is reflected in the culture of the whole gym. A very welcoming place that is both high level and accessible to all.
