I absolutely love this place. Lots of class times to choose from, knowledgeable instructors who are passionate about teaching, great vibe and good people who train there. There is also lots of workout equipment to work on those gains! Really great place to learn the useful and fun art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

They also have one of the earliest classes at 5.30am in the morning for the early birds which can be a huge plus for many.
Cleaniness at this gym is also tiptop ?
