Amazing people and a great energy. The student to instructor ratio was great, and all the kids were very engaged, happy and learning proper techniques. Instructor Khalil Bostan and Coach Hollie were very welcoming and friendly to both me and my son, which made the whole experience feel much easier from the start. My son went for a trial saying he did not want to try the big, uncomfortable vest and that he would never come back. He ended up having great fun, joining in with all the exercises, made a friend and saying he wanted to continue, get his own kimono and become a new member of the Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu team. A really positive first experience.

Awesome club with top-notch coaches and a great community vibe. My son is completely hooked; Jiu Jitsu has become his world, and it’s amazing to see how much he has grown from it, as an athlete and as a person. We both train here and love every session. It’s a super friendly, respectful and professional place. Stop thinking about it and just sign up.

My son and I have both been training here for 5 months now and enjoy it immensely. The facilities are fantastic but more importantly the coaches have created an environment which is welcoming, supportive, challenging and safe. They are encouraging and very patient, especially with the children. The time and dedication which is apportioned to each individual to ensure they are comfortable and able to progress is excellent. Commitment is encouraged and celebrated frequently with all abilities. You would struggle to fail joining this club.

I have been searching for a women's jujitsu class for a while. It was important for me to have a safe space to begin my jujitsu journey in. The people were really friendly and welcoming. The coach adapted the practice to suit my level (absolute beginner). I spend every week excited for the next 🥰

A Phenomenal club with great coaches, and a growing female cohort. I joined Gracie Barra last October when they put on an 8 week women only subsidised training course. I enjoyed it so much that I stayed, and continue to train. The coaches and professors are fantastic, ready to explain and go over anything one does not understand. The embiance is that of mutual respect, support, and growth. It is also very friendly, when we are not trying to outdo each other during specific training😄😄😄.

Really friendly and welcoming place - exceptionally clean and bright too. As a woman, I feel very comfortable training here. The coaches have been great in supporting me from absolutely zero skill, fitness and flexibility to start with, and I am really enjoying learning this new activity.

I spent a large amount of time looking for a club I could take my son to as I only have him alternate weeks. Although this is not ideal for train the team pointed out the drawbacks they were willing to give him a chance. My sone attended for three months and every member for the team were great, all knew their stuff and were great with the children, knew all name and focused attention were it was needed. As 2nd Dan myself I can say that the training was very good and well paced, I would highly recommend both the staff and facilities. Thank you

Apperley Bridge Gracie Barra Jiu-Jitsu is an excellent place to train. Coach Khalil is fantastic at teaching and really knows how to break down techniques in a way that everyone can understand. The environment and atmosphere are welcoming and friendly, making it a great place for both beginners and experienced practitioners. With classes available daily for all ages, there's plenty of opportunity to train and improve. I highly recommend Apperley Bridge Gracie Barra to anyone looking to get into Jiu-Jitsu or take their skills to the next level.
