You won't find a better instructor running BJJ classes than Sean in Kippax! Amazing for an introduction to, and learning, BJJ. A very safe environment with great structure and clear technique breakdowns (and tons of help implementing techniques). Very welcoming for anyone of any age and fitness level. Cheers Sean!
