⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • a year ago

Have been going to combat athlete BJJ for about 3 months as have my two children 12 and 7. Personally I think the classes are excellent. Gav and Tristan are excellent instructors at adult and child level. The kids always look forward to going which has not been the case with other martial arts they have been to and I can see them learning and growing in confidence every week. Gav and Tristan always make an extra effort with them to keep the sessions interesting and fun. As for me the more I go the more I enjoy it. It’s a useful life skill and excellent fitness. It can be a bit daunting at first and there is so much to learn but it is very rewarding. All the members are friendly and helpful and the gym has a brilliant atmosphere.

I've done personal training with Gav for a couple of month now and its great. If you want to get fit but also develop all round combat skills its perfect. He will tailor skills for what you want to learn and there is a pathway to different classes if you want to go outside the PT sessions.
