Awesome experience with the club. Everyone is super friendly and supportive. Would recommend to anyone wanting to gain fitness and confidence in their ability to be able to defend themselves.

I've been training with Lex for over 10 years. He is the utmost professional and one of the nicest guys I know. His knowledge of Jiu Jitsu is enormous and his skills are legendary. Highly recommended!

I started training here right from the opening of the gym, and it’s been without a doubt one of the best decisions I’ve made — not just for my fitness, but for my mental resilience as well. The environment, coaching, and culture push you to be better every session, while still making it a place you genuinely enjoy showing up to. It’s had a huge impact on my confidence, discipline, and overall mindset. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough to anyone thinking about starting.

Started our Kids here in 2024, after 6 months of watching them train I joined myself. Highly recommend to anyone, any age or fitness level.

I can't rate this place highly enough! Definelty didn't feel out of place walking in the doors for the first trial and becoming a member as soon as I stepped off the mats. It felt like I'd known Prof. Flex my whole life he was that welcoming. The leadership and guidance offered to all members at every level is amazing. Great mix of people here and has a real sense of family. If you're looking to test yourself or just missing something in life, this could be it. I have learnt an immense amount about myself and what really matters in life, from the physical and mental wellbeing benefits I can say it will sharpen you, de-stress and humble you all at the same time, whilst teaching you discipline,control and focus under pressure. Get the whole family involved and grow together.. You wont find better people than prof Flex & Loz

Our 11 year old son started with this club around 6 months ago, and the team has made him feel very welcome. Flynn is thriving under Alexis's training and we can see his skillset improving every month.
