Hidden Potential

Unsure why it’s taken so long to leave a review, but if you have ever considered trying BJJ there is no better place than CVA. The best decision I have ever made was to walk through those club doors. Ben is an amazing coach and makes everyone feel welcome from The very first session. The entire coaching team are fantastic. Sessions morning, midday and night. There are options for everyone. Do it, you won’t regret it.

I stopped in for an open mat while on vacation. Everyone was extremely kind and welcoming. Rolls were competitive and there was a good mix of skill levels. Highly recommend for any other people looking for a gym while traveling.

Amazing Bjj Gym, with a very positive vibe and great people! Tried both, late morning class with Dylan and evening class with Ben and would totally recommend both sessions. Had a great time during my stay in Edinburgh there as a drop in.

Amazing place. I can definitely recommend it. You can feel comfortable in the club. Positive atmosphere, a great deal of knowledge. Cool techniques, highly recommended. I think I'll introduce regular visits. People are helpful, friendly, and you can really develop your jiu-jitsu skills nicely.

If you´re thinking about picking up JIU-JITSU but are hesitant this is a great gym! The headcoach ben is exceedingly warm and welcoming and has created a great environment to learn jujitsu. If you´re worried about your strength, size or fitness the basics classes are very accessible and will teach you fundamental movements at an easy to take in pace. The competition activity and record of the gym speaks for itself.

Drop in visit on our trip before a globetrotters camp - husband and I messaged prior and he referred us to the schedule and said we were welcome to come in. No fee at this time, no specific gi requirements. Ben was extremely friendly and welcoming, a pleasant surprise when visiting different schools. We got to see him teach fundamentals and hop into class after, he is an excellent teacher and it's a solid crew of friendly people and a clean space. Highly recommended.
