Boasting over 150 students Cesar's academy has become one of the most respected in London with athletes of all levels competing both locally and at a World level.
Really a great gym and experience!
Dropping into this gym includes a day pass to the entire establishment so if you like, you can get your swol on before you roll so you can look intimidating.
I came in for a drop in class on a Sunday and everyone on the mats were very welcoming. Apparently Sunday is the review for the prior week but not to worry, I got plenty of information from the instruction and my rolling partner. Both were very helpful with the small details around the specific movement sequence we were looking to learn. Igor was running the class and had a very calm demeanor about his instruction.
After the instruction, it was time to roll. On Sundays they keep going until everyone leaves so don't worry about getting enough rolls in. Each of my rolling partners were tough but respectful and wiling to talk through the experience. Really couldn't ask for much else.
Amazing team, great bjj school to learn and train. Thanks to Eduardo, Cesar, Max, Pawel, Luis. Safe and comfortable environment to train. Coaches and team mates all supportive and make it an overall positive experience.

An amazing team of coaches all with their unique style and approach to the art of BJJ.
A friendly atmosphere with a huge range of skilled players to roll with of all shapes and sizes. Plenty of classes to choose from so no excuses to miss out on a good roll.!
I'm always wary of reviews because you never know who wrote them, now I've said this I hope this gives you more trust this is an honest review!
I've been part of the club for 6 months now and honestly I've never push myself to such peak performance with such great people.
You get the best value with the numerous slots available. No need to book and very flexible! they also have slots in other clubs than Farringdon.
with the gymbox package, you can train cross fit followed by bjj in same day ,as recommended by Jocko Willink ! thus I can train every day bjj, muay thai and calisthenics/crossfit type of training!
safety wise people are v chill compared to previous clubs I've been to.
also ,everybody have met have been friendly and made me feel part of the community.
Grand Union Jiu Jitsu is a fantastic club to learn BJJ for both Gi & No Gi. The team are very knowledgeable, professional & welcoming.
They put together a well structured curriculum for beginners, intermediate & advanced BJJ enthusiasts.
All members (at every belt level) train to a very high standard so you will learn quickly if you are consistent.
Socially it's also a great place to make new friends.
One of the best BJJ schools in London. Plenty of time slots to choose from and friendly atmosphere. Coaches are high-level and very friendly. I absolutely recommend them.
Started training at GU Farringdon 3 weeks ago. It has a great timetable of morning, lunch and evening classes every day. The instructors and everyone who trains are friendly and there's a good vibe on the mats. On top of that its in the flagship Gymbox so you get great facilities not normally associated with a BJJ gym (sauna, towels, large changing rooms / showers, huge gym, other classes). Hope to train there a long time!
