Dropped in for a one off session while travelling from Australia and had such a lovely experience. As a female in the BJJ space I felt comfortable respected and genuinely welcomed which always means a lot. I did not have my own gi with me and they were kind enough to lend me one which was so appreciated. Everyone was friendly talented and made the session really enjoyable. The all white gym is bright clean and beautiful and just has a really nice energy. Such a great place to train and I would happily drop in again.

Dropped in for a couple of classes and an open mat. Top level coaching & technique and really friendly coaches and members. Gym is just off the Balfour Road tramstop so it's really handy to find. Thanks so much for having me :)

Dropped in to Playfair while visiting Scotland; truly can’t recommend this place enough! Great gym for everyone, beginner through advanced. They have a solid crew of women and kids as well! The place to train in Edinburgh.
