Amazing gym and culture. Excellent teaching from Octaviano and all the other coaches. No egos, super welcoming environment, and always clean. Can’t ask for more💪
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Roger Gracie Watford is an outstanding place to train, especially for kids. The environment is welcoming, safe, and full of positive energy. Coach Octaviano is truly exceptional. He has a fantastic way of teaching, connecting with the children, and helping them develop both skill and confidence. His patience, encouragement, and ability to break techniques down in a way kids understand make all the difference. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for their children!
Top quality coaching, great atmosphere, nice people, very good value, clean and safe environment. Thank you for making me and my family feel welcome. 5 stars!!
Highly recommended and super welcoming team for all ages and stages. Training with Octaviano is a real privilege. Someone who faithfully and humbly represents the top-of-the-food-chain when it comes to Jiu Jitsu. It is a true honour to be a member of this gym and part of the wider Roger Gracie family.
I joined the club 2 months ago. I thought it was going to be scary… couldn’t have been more wrong. I’ve loved every minute of it and the coaching has been top level not just from Octaviano who’s brilliant but from every one in the gym. Great environment full of energy.
Sensational facility, Octaviano is one of the greatest teachers you will come across. My daughter has been going for over one year, as a Covid baby she was extremely shy, now she is so confident and happy, going from one Saturday class to three days a week. I strongly recommend this for all parents to help their children learn and develop. Thank you Octaviano for everything.
More Than a Gym - A Foundational Year of Growth For the past year, Roger Gracie WATFORD has been an integral part of my life, and it has exceeded every expectation I had when I first walked in. As a complete beginner, I was welcomed with zero ego and incredible patience. The head instructor, Octaviano, and the entire coaching team(John , Edison )have a rare gift for breaking down complex techniques into digestible steps, making the art of jiu-jitsu accessible to everyone. The curriculum is well-structured, ensuring you build a solid foundation before moving on to advanced concepts. What truly sets this gym apart is the culture. The training partners are supportive, tough when they need to be, and always prioritize safety and mutual improvement. There are no "mat enforcers" here, just people who want to help you get better. Whether you're looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or compete, you'll find your tribe. After a year, I'm not just stronger and more skilled—I'm more confident, disciplined, and part of a genuine community. If you're on the fence, take the trial class. You won't regret it.
