"BJJ offers you a guaranteed avenue of self improvement, that you can apply to other parts in your life.”

Zacariah Bell

"BJJ has offered me a way to keep in good shape, make friends, an outlet for my mental health & a way for me to learn every time I step on the mat.”

Maddi Wilson

"I have been asked “What keeps you coming back to BJJ?” And my answer is “Why wouldn’t I come back to this?”

Tane Clement

"It's the only sport I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have an optimal build. No matter what size you are there’s someone out there who is a beast with the exact same build. The only difference is they started BJJ sooner."

Dan Sainsbury

"If you are even slightly considering turning up and giving it a go just do it. You wont regret it. Promise."

Hassan Bukhari

"Jiu Jitsu has changed my life in many ways, whether that’s friends, physically feeling strong & confident or just learning something new."

Natasha Thornton

"I keep coming back as I’m always learning lots of new skills and have made lots of good friends."

Ross

"After a training session the day won’t seem too daunting for you. Its the best stress and anxiety relief you can do."

Shafiqah Ilyana

"As an introvert, I do find it a little bit hard to engage myself in a new environment, but I felt right in place since day one."

Ben Russ

"Running headfirst into sparring with a ridiculous grin on my face, getting tapped over 30 times by one of the upper belts, I loved it."

Ana Bremer

"I think there's something a bit primal about the sport, the buzz you get from a good roll is hard to beat."

Heydan Bucknell

"Nothing comes close to the feeling of oneness and the state of flow achieved while rolling with another JJ practitioner."
