A Saturday afternoon spent in a sweaty room full of guys mock punching and sword fighting was awesome. At 50+ I just wish I had found out about it earlier as the fitness drills at the beginning were tough! Great training from the Combat International team, loved it.
I started on an intro to jiu jitsu course at The Griphouse last August. The course was delivered by Paul and I found the coaching to be structured and well thought out, in a manner that allowed me to progress in a logical and understandable manner. At the end of the course I was happy to sign up to a membership and have found the training in other classes, and other arts to be equally engaging. There are a lot of options available, I'm an old dad with a busy job and it's great to have early classes and later sessions which I can manage to get to outside of my other commitments. It's a great environment and a welcoming culture that makes everyone feel at ease. 100% I'd recommend.
My kids have trained at Griphouse Academy for 2 years now. The kids classes are brilliant and the coaching is excellent. There’s a great vibe about the kids squad and they love helping each other and working together. My oldest is 9 and competes regularly. The coaching at Griphouse has allowed him to compete in BJJ at national and international level.
Fantastic place with lovely people. The Griphouse Academy has brought my son on loads in confidence there is a huge variety of classes on 6 days a week between kids and teens bjj classes. The coaches have a clear vision for progression in the sport for the kids if they want to do it competitively. There is also the option for kids to come and train and not compete. There is a great sense of community and friendship within the gym. The coaches are all fantastic and so helpful.
Outstanding place. 3 weeks in. Like most I had heard about the Griphouse and it’s stellar coaching but I was still apprehensive. The coaches and other people training have been so helpful and encouraging.
