My son, Caden enjoys training at SJJA St Ives. He is always keen to go training. There is a good cross section of students his age to train with. His skill has definitely gone up a level since training there. Prof Adam is a good instructor and takes the time to correct students technique individually. The facility has a nice big matted area, so plenty of space to have competitive rolls.
My son, Anton, has been attending SJJA St Ives for the past five months, and we absolutely love it. The classes are well-organized, and the coaches are incredibly patient and encouraging with the children. We’ve noticed a big improvement in Anton’s ability to listen and stay focused—it’s been a wonderful experience
My son Joseph and I train at SJJA St Ives and we love it. The coaches are super friendly and really know their stuff. They’re awesome with the kids and make training fun.
Joseph’s grown so much in confidence since we started. It’s a great vibe all round – good people, good energy. Definitely recommend if you’re thinking of giving BJJ a go!
My son absolutely loves this jiu-jitsu class! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about what they do. The atmosphere is friendly, respectful, and supportive everyone’s here to learn and grow together. Highly recommend to anyone looking to challenge themselves, get fit, and have fun in the process!
We've had an amazing experience at St Ives Jiu-Jitsu! My child started attending classes when they were 5 years old, and now at 9, I've seen tremendous growth both in their skills and character. The progression has been fantastic!
The coaches are incredibly professional, patient, and great at communicating with kids. They always know how to keep the kids engaged while making sure they're safe and well-supported throughout their learning. The atmosphere in the classes is energetic yet warm, and every child gets the attention they need.
What I love most about St Ives Jiu-Jitsu is the balance they strike between teaching technical skills and fostering personal development. It's not just about martial arts; it’s about building confidence, discipline, and resilience. I’ve noticed my child becoming more self-assured and handling challenges with a calm mindset.
Overall, St Ives Jiu-Jitsu is an outstanding place for kids to learn and grow. If you're looking for a school that’s both professional and nurturing, this is definitely the place to be!
Adam is not a trustworthy person. He takes advantage of people’s kindness, makes promises he never delivers on, and avoids taking responsibility when things go wrong. For over a year I was patient and gave him the chance to do the right thing, but instead of resolving the issue, he chose to block my number and cut off communication. I am leaving this review based on my direct and genuine dealings with Adam. Any suggestion that I was not a client or that this experience did not occur would simply be an attempt to deflect responsibility.
