    I’ve only recently started training here after spending two years at another gym, and I’ve been really impressed. The level of coaching and training is incredibly high, and everyone has been so welcoming from day one. Ash, the owner, has created a great atmosphere that’s friendly, supportive, and focused on helping everyone improve. I’m really looking forward to continuing my journey here. Highly recommend!

    If you are looking for a sign to try something completely new, this is it. When I first tried Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 56, I never saw myself as a brawler. I was a corporate professional, and spending my evenings grappling on a mat felt like both a luxury and a terrifying risk. I almost turned around on my first night, telling myself I was too old for this. Four years later, at 60, I can honestly say that finding this sport and joining Amos Martial Arts has changed my life. This is a genuinely welcoming family that has kept my head above water. No matter how out of sorts I feel when I arrive after a stressful day, the environment Ashley Amos and the team have built acts as a magical mental reset. I always leave with a smile. Thanks to training here, I’m in the best physical shape of my life, my confidence has grown in ways I never thought possible, and I’ve finally found a playful sports hobby I truly love. The coaches are world-class champions, but on the mat, they are completely down-to-earth and absolutely prioritise a beginner’s safety. There’s a deep mutual respect here - we work hard, we look after each other, and we laugh a lot. They also run an exceptional kids' program based on great values; the children who train here are honestly inspiring. It is a wonderful, mixed-age community that has transformed my social life. I’ve made genuine, close friends here who are half or even a quarter of my age, and we regularly hang out for socials outside of the club. If you think you're too old, too unfit, or too busy to start something new, come to Amos. You will be respected, protected, and welcomed from day one. I am incredibly grateful for this place.

    Incredible place for both kids an adults. I had a private lesson with Ash and found out more about his training. Very experienced and very good at putting you at ease, helping your confidence grow. My son has lessons with Fin who is also amazing with kids. Highly reccomend. Not sure of the female teachers name, but she is good too. All the teachings warmly welcome everyone.

    My son has been training at this gym for the last 10 months, and the progress he has made during that time has been incredible. Not only have his jiu-jitsu skills improved significantly, but his confidence, self-belief, and overall mindset have grown tremendously as well. A huge part of this is down to Ash and the coaching team. Their knowledge, patience, and genuine care for every child they coach is evident in every session. They take the time to support each student individually, helping them develop both on and off the mats. The positive environment they create encourages children to challenge themselves, work hard, and believe in their abilities. The recent move to the new premises has been a fantastic upgrade. The facilities are excellent, providing a professional, clean, and welcoming space for members to train. It's clear that a lot of thought and investment has gone into creating a facility that everyone can be proud of. Most importantly, this is a place my son now genuinely loves coming to and feels proud to be part of the team. As a parent, there is nothing better than seeing your child growing in confidence and thriving in such a supportive environment. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for high-quality coaching, a welcoming community, and a place where children can develop both their skills and confidence.

    I’m a dad of two young kids and I started 6 months ago with no experience. There’s a high standard of grapplers there, yet it’s still an excellent place for beginners too. Welcoming place, not intimidating, and Ash and the coaches are great at teaching. You always feel like you’re learning at a high standard and not the other slop that’s out there. There’s a good community feel within the gym too. Would recommend - for all levels!
