Authentic, Professional, and Top-Level Coaching Both my sons train judo at Craig Ewers Academy, and it’s been a fantastic experience. The coaching is high-level across judo, BJJ (gi and no gi), and grappling. It’s a proper gym – professional, focused, and grounded in old-school values like discipline, respect, and hard work. There’s no ego, just great training and a strong community. My boys love it, and the progress they’ve made speaks for itself. It’s not flashy – it’s authentic. The mats are full of focus, effort, and a strong sense of community. My boys loves training here, and I can honestly say it’s made a positive impact on their confidence, resilience, and love for the sport. Highly recommended.
Big shoutout to the guy’s at CEA. I’ve been a few times and I can’t fault the training or coaching in any way. I do a lot of reporting on Welsh MMA and naturally have worked with a few of their regular fighters and if you want proof of how good the gym, look at the names that are currently fighting there. The facilities are top quality, its in a prime location and I’d highly recommend the gym to anybody interested in getting into the fighting and BJJ!
I recently joined Craig’s, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The variety of classes, including MMA, judo, jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai, caters to every interest and skill level. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, with a friendly group of people who are always eager to support and encourage each other. The instructors and coaches are amazing, with well-thought-out sessions that not only challenge me but also help me grow and improve with each class. I highly recommend this club to anyone looking to try out any of the classes mentioned.
