  Will and the SJJA Prestons team have been outstanding from day one. The staff are professional, warm and made us feel comfortable the moment we signed up. Their approach is perfect. The classes are fun and engaging, while also teaching self respect, respect for others and how to carry yourself with confidence. They don’t just teach self defence. They teach kids how to be decent human beings. My daughter has enjoyed every class. We came from another BJJ centre that focused heavily on competition and strength. She was getting hurt, and even after raising concerns about rough behaviour from older students, nothing changed. As a beginner, she wasn’t supported. SJJA Prestons has been the complete opposite. Thank you for creating such a safe and positive environment for my daughter to learn real self defence skills without fear or pressure. We enjoy playing a few games of foosball before class and always feel right at home. Couldn’t recommend SJJA Prestons more.

  My kids have been training for the past few months, and it’s been an incredible experience. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and patient, always taking time to explain techniques in detail. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming — everyone from beginners to advanced students supports each other. The mats and facilities are always clean and well-maintained. I’ve noticed huge improvements in my kids confidence, and fitness. Highly recommend SJJA to anyone looking to start or continue their Jiu-Jitsu journey!

  Hands down the best place to start your jiu-jitsu journey. I’d been wanting to start BJJ for a long time but was always nervous — and my trial experiences at other gyms weren’t that great. That all changed from my first trial lesson at SJJA Prestons. From day one, Coach Will and Coach John made the effort to pull me aside and personally walk me through the fundamentals, from break falls to forward rolls; the little things that often get overlooked when beginners are just thrown into the mix. That level of attention, respect, and care made me feel instantly comfortable. I signed up on the spot. Everyone here, from coaches to students, is friendly, supportive, and committed to helping each other grow. You’re challenged, but always in a safe and encouraging way. The mats are clean and spacious, the gym feels open and family-friendly, and the culture Coach Will has built is top-tier. If you’re looking for a place to start or continue your BJJ journey, this is it.

  We love coming to SJJA Prestons! Can't recommend the family friendly atmosphere or expert coaching highly enough! The gym space and amenities are spacious and very much appreciated by onlooking parents and toddlers who have a great play area. Thank you to coach Will and coach John for their patient teaching of my high-energy kids 🥰

  My son has been going to the Prestons location since it opened in 2021, and we couldn’t be happier. Coach Will and Coach Jon have created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a safe space for all students to learn. I really appreciate their teaching style—they cater to all skill levels, ensuring that both beginners and experienced students receive the support they need. They always make time to help everyone, and the kids absolutely love that they incorporate fun activities at the end of each class!
