⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was looking for a place to train while I was visiting the UK for work. I contacted RGA Henley and set up an initial session with Ben. He was personable, knowledgable and very welcoming. While rolling, he gave me some great pointers to help me address my weaknesses and improve my game. He then followed up with a summary email including videos highlighting the specific drills we had worked on. I was very impressed and highly recommend both Ben and the club. I plan to train there again when I’m next visiting. Thanks Ben - I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to working with me.

I was visiting family and was looking for a BJJ club to come train. I was welcomed with open arms, by both Zach and Paxton on different days. The BJJ is of an extremely high level, the training was excellent and the rolling was lots of fun. Paxton is an amazing man, incredibly hospitable and makes you feel at home in an instant. To quote him: this is not just a club, it's a family. And it definitly felt like that. Thank you Paxton for having me, looking forward to learning a lot more from you! Oss! 👊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had wanted to join a BJJ gym for years so was thrilled when one opened in the middle of town. Paxton, the instructor/boss, is excellent! A very skilled, friendly and patient tutor who has started me on a journey that has already become an essential part of my life. Equally important to Henley RGA is the students who attend and they are all a great bunch of people. They are quick to include new members into the fold and make them feel welcome regardless of age or gender. Everyone should try BJJ at least once and this club is a fantastic place to to do it!
