    An awesome environment for anyone wanting to learn grappling looking a aspects of Judy, BJJ and orherstyles. A friendly and high standard bunch of guys who have between them competed and meddled internationally. A good starting place for anyone looking to get into MMA and a must see for any competing fighters.

    Kids training is run very well by high level coach, Craig Ewers. The environment is very welcoming and really glad I took my son after being highly recommended by other parents who's kids also attend.

    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.
