    Beautiful space and a owner/headcoach Ben that is very passionate about jiujitsu. Good technical details from patient coaches. The gym itself have a fitness corner where you can do compound lifts, and a couple of machines to work your cardio out. I personally think there good enough equipments that can save you on spending for another fitness gym membership! 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 ?
