A Phenomenal club with great coaches, and a growing female cohort. I joined Gracie Barra last October when they put on an 8 week women only subsidised training course. I enjoyed it so much that I stayed, and continue to train. The coaches and professors are fantastic, ready to explain and go over anything one does not understand. The embiance is that of mutual respect, support, and growth. It is also very friendly, when we are not trying to outdo each other during specific training😄😄😄.

My son and I have both been training here for 5 months now and enjoy it immensely. The facilities are fantastic but more importantly the coaches have created an environment which is welcoming, supportive, challenging and safe. They are encouraging and very patient, especially with the children. The time and dedication which is apportioned to each individual to ensure they are comfortable and able to progress is excellent. Commitment is encouraged and celebrated frequently with all abilities. You would struggle to fail joining this club.

Apperley Bridge Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent place to train. Coach Khalil is fantastic at teaching and really knows how to break down techniques in a way that everyone can understand. The environment and atmosphere are welcoming and friendly, making it a great place for both beginners and experienced practitioners. With classes available daily for all ages, there's plenty of opportunity to train and improve. I highly recommend Apperley Bridge Gracie Barra to anyone looking to get into Jiu-Jitsu or take their skills to the next level.
