Signed up Gracie’s membership after the 2 week free trail. The classes are fun, in depth and well thought out. The programme seems to be broken down well so you learn everything properly. Sean is also great at explaining and demonstrating each class. Looking forward to progressing through both the combative’s programme. And the women’s self defence programme. Which is also excellent adding elements of BJJ and tailoring it to real world applications for protecting yourself.
Really good club with a great bunch of people. Sean is a sound guy and makes everyone feel welcome without any of the ego you can sometimes get in martial arts. Good training, and plenty of help along the way. Would definitely recommend giving it a go!
My son has tried martial arts before and found it too much but he loves it in here. Not only he looks forward to it but is learning brilliant stuff , from self defence to good communication and he is really happy goes in smiling goes out smiling … is great ! The classes are well structured, and varied so they are always engaged.
I’m a compete beginner to Jui-Jitsu and was nervous to give it a go. Sean and everybody were very welcoming, and I quickly got over any nerves. I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
Our two boys love coming to classes with Sean and the other students. They have done karate before but Jiu Jitsu is better for them both as they are high energy and the classes are well structured, but also fun, and they love it!
I’ve been doing jiu jitsu on and off for nearly 10 years, and after moving back to Leeds I wanted to find a place to train that had 0 ego and had good teaching. After having a lengthy conversation with head instructor Sean, I decided to give Gracie Jiu Jitsu a try. When I arrived I was warmly greeted by not only Sean but other members of the gym. They started the session by going over what they previously learnt in their last session, which was a pleasant surprise for me as I’m used to having to do 30 minutes of pointless warm up drills in the past. Sean then started to teach the techniques of the day and we went on to drill those techniques. Overall the atmosphere and level of teaching is 10/10, and I would recommend to anyone that is interested in trying out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, to come down and try it out at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Leeds.
Sean is a fantastic trainer. My girls go to his classes and are buzzing after every session. My eldest was reluctant, I took her to a session and Sean involved her in the adult class and she was impatient to start. Great club, great lessons, great teacher.
The curriculum is very well-structured, which is perfect for beginners who might feel intimidated by martial arts. The focus on self-defence and the 'Gracie Combatives' program makes every lesson feel practical and safe. Sean is a fantastic instructor - knowledgeable, accommodating, and creates a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
I have two sons who have just completed the free two week trial at Gracie jui Jitsu Leeds and have loved every minute of it. Sean the instructor is fantastic, so patient and explains everything clearly. It really helping building their resilience and confidence. They can’t wait for their next lesson ! I would highly recommend it.
Just finished the free trial, will be signing up as a member! Sean is a great instructor and communicator who clearly knows his stuff. The class sizes are small which means you maximise the time you interact with Sean. The pace and set up of the lessons mean they accessible to anyone, regardless of ability or fitness. Everyone at the club has been extremely friendly and welcoming.
Posted 1 year agoMy son is 5 and started a free trial and now is a full time member. He enjoys every lesson, they are fun and each time he learns something new. Lessons encourage good behaviour and positive attitude. My son looking foward for it every week.
Posted 1 year agoI’ve really enjoyed my free trial and I will be joining, Sean is a great teacher and the people I’ve met are great.
Posted 1 year agoA fantastic way for kids to stay active, develop life skills, and build resilience in a supportive community! Professional coach. My kid really loves it.
Posted 1 year agoMy two boys aged 11 and 8 have been going to these classes since September. They absolutely love it and it has given them so much more confidence, but more importantly, they have fun whilst learning this skill! Sean is a great teacher, really friendly and approachable and makes everyone feel encouraged and always welcome. Would highly recommend these classes for building confidence and resilience.
