⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 6 years ago

The best place for Martial Arts training in Norfolk with competent coaches with first hand experience. Very friendly and supportive even if, like me, you're a bit shy or quiet. You won't find better Jiu-Jitsu anywhere else in East Anglia

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 3 years ago

I've been. attending classes at Icon for roughly 18 months. I started off on the tailored beginners program which gave me a good understanding of the fundamentals of BJJ. Steve and his coaches were always patient and took the time to break down the moves when I didn't quite understand them. I have recently moved up to intermediate level and all the higher belts and fellow white belts have been happy to help when I've asked for guidance. This is a friendly welcoming club where egos are left behind and we are all there to better ourselves and each other. I highly recommend Icon BJJ Norwich as a club and Steve as a coach.

A very diverse set of people of all ages , from every walk of life who are all there to better themselves with like minded people. If you’re reading these reviews then take the next step and pop into see Steve, your only regret will be not doing it sooner.
