Dropped in for a class and was instantly made to feel welcome. The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, and the team has a great mix of skill levels. Clean facility, structured classes, and a really positive vibe. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, this is a great place to train. Highly recommend!
Great gym with great people. Steven and the team are very knowledgeable coaches who genuinely care about your progress. The community is welcoming and there's no ego on the mats, which makes it easy to show up and enjoy training. Highly recommend whether you're just starting out or have been training for years.
I started my grappling journey under Steven's tutorage and it was the best decision to make. Not only is Steven a great coach and bloke, but the entire Freaks community are friendly easy going people who are always happy to help and beginners and share their knowledge. Couldn't recommend this gym more if you are starting your BJJ journey or are an experienced practitioner looking for high quality training partners to push you.
Great gym! Steven is extremely passionate about Jiu Jitsu and it shows in his coaching. Freaks is a positive community of people who want to better themselves through martial arts!
I trained with Steven for about 2 years, and not only was this the most consistent I’ve ever been with jiu-jitsu, but it was also the most enjoyable—and the most I’ve genuinely learned. Steven is not only a highly successful competitor, but he’s also an exceptional coach. He’s passionate, detail-oriented, and takes the time to make sure everyone understands—not just what to do, but why it works. The environment he creates is welcoming, supportive, and motivating. I always felt challenged in the best way, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students’ progress. Couldn’t recommend training with him enough.
