Atos Jiu-Jitsu UK

My daughter had her first Jiu Jitsu session yesterday (she’s 5 years old). She was quite hesitant and nervous to start. However, the coaches at Atos were extremely helpful and kind. When the class began, one of the coaches approached my daughter and walked her onto the mats so she didn’t feel uncomfortable or alone. Whilst on the mats, I noticed that she began crying... And for this, I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Professor Tom - who instantly went over to my daughter and calmed her down in no time! He was absolutely amazing with her. My daughter’s tears vanished and she began smiling, laughing, talking and engaging with him, which I did not expect at all! Professor Tom also helped her make a new friend in the class, which was ever so kind and helpful as I felt that this ensured that my daughter did not feel left out, given that a lot of the children knew one another. To sum it up - my daughter absolutely loved her session! She was so excited when we left that she was asking when we would be coming back! If I could give them more credit, I would! It’s tough to find gyms that cater to children in such a way; making it a safe, friendly, family environment. It’s very rare.

Could not recommend Atos Jiu Jitsu Sutton Coldfield enough! My son started his first 3-5 year old class and the team could not of been any more supportive. He was a little nervous at first with some tears. Professor Tom and Lucy were super attentive, caring and encouraging. By the end he was soo positive and excited to come again. The team used their professional experience to encourage the kids to get involved by using the basic fundamentals of Jui Jitsu and fun games, which bring out bundles of confidence in the little ones. Atos has a great community and togetherness; perfect example of what JJ is all about.

I had a trial class today, when I came into the building I was greeted warmly by Lucy who instantly began getting me set for my first class. She gave me a uniform for the class which was nice and clean. Dan helped me put on my belt and was so respectful. When the class began Lucy joined to be my partner as I was the only woman amongst the students , which again helped me feel comfortable in this new environment. Dan showed us the moves and he has a great way of breaking down and explaining the technique so I , a beginner, could easily understand. I was lucky to be partnered with Lucy because she made sure I executed everything properly and within my own comfort zone. I finished class feeling more confident in myself and I have Lucy and Dan to thank for that. I would happily continue to do jiujitsu with this establishment because of how good the trainers are at maintaining such a peaceful environment that welcomes mistakes and encourages growth.
