We couldn’t be happier with our son’s experience at Innovation Jiu Jitsu. Lee and the coaches are incredibly skilled, patient, and truly invested in every student’s progress. They create a positive environment where the kids feel supported, motivated, and excited to learn. Our son has made huge progress and has started competing. He has made great friends along the way, and the team spirit in the gym is fantastic to see. Innovation Jiu Jitsu is a place where children grow as athletes and as people.

Top end Jiu-Jitsu Academy. The coaches are outstanding, very knowledgeable and patient with the kids. Family friendly atmosphere with a great set of children with different abilities and ages. My boys have been part of the academy for years. They are thriving, resilient and learning skills that are a lifelong useful.

Great coaches and atmosphere with classes available for all kinds of levels to help you progress, very welcoming environment. Edit 3 years later: I’m now a purple belt and the gym environment is still excellent, everybody gets along and everyone is welcome. Coaches want to see you develop and you can tell the time Lee puts into studying BJJ for classes and attending competitions to coach students. The gym as a whole does very well at competitions which prove the quality of the coaching. If you are in 2 minds definitely give it a try because it might end up being one of the best decisions you make.

Been a god send having this place next to my home, I've trained here for a only a short while and the passion I'm getting for bjj again is a massive blessing for me, Lee and his father Paul who is also a very knowledgeable black belt and coach have helped me a lot I can't express how much the lessons and details I'm getting from them is already leveling my game up, I've trained since 2010 in different gyms and I can honestly say the fine details in the techniques here are next level, The competition record over the years from the gym shows that and its evident by all the gold medals on the wall when you walk in! Good place to train

Great place for kids to learn both Ju Jitsu and discipline. I have a son and daughter who have been going for 1-2 years now and have come on leaps and bounds. Would highly recommend Innovation.

A fantastic facility with brilliant and very knowledgeable coaches. We had a private women-only taster session, we learnt so much and it inspired a couple of the ladies to continue on in the sport. The venue is easy to find, modern and exceptionally clean.

Great combination between welcoming, instructive and challenging. The classes are a managed so the kids are safe, the standards are high to push them on and the encouragement is great. Where required though they will be challenged so they know the boundaries.
