My Second Home. And for my son too. Simply.
My sons have started training over a year ago and so far the journey has been fantastic.
Ash, is not only skilled and passionated but also manage the classes perfectly. Lessons are structured, the atmosphere is intense when training.. there is a perfect balance between discipline and fun. Having tried a few club around as I was looking for a physical activity for my 2 sons it has taken a complete different turn and what was just a hobby has become a real passion for them.. and this is without to mention the progress they are making in less time due to the outstanding training they receive.
I highly recommend for any parent either looking to introduce their children BJJ or advanced/competitor junior. You won’t regret.
