Been training with Tony 18 months now and can’t thank him enough for the knowledge, patience and friendship he’s shown throughout. Perfect for beginners and advanced students with a great supportive atmosphere from all.
Pure BJJ straight from one of the original teachers in the UK.
Tony is without a doubt one of the best martial arts instructors I’ve ever came across, old school, no nonsense practical martial arts for self defence with a realistic view to everyone’s capabilities regardless of body type or ability.
Personally I’ve been training with Tony for close to 14 years and have always evolved from it.
BJJ changed my life for the better and still does. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Tony has been practicing since the early 90’s and teaching from the early 2000’s and is among the uk’s most respected professors.
I’m proud to wear a black belt from Tony, he’s not your average coach!
This gym is great, Tony and the gyms members welcome everybody with open arms .
It’s not just that Tony can teach you martial arts to the highest standard , he’s also great role model that will teach you a lot about life and how to conduct yourself as a person.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I couldn't recommend this place more, my only regret is not joining earlier. Tony has a unique style of coaching that after a lifetime is sport I have never seen, he teaches you how to actually see and understand things for yourself, not just "copy me and try this". The gym environment is the right balance between friendly and welcoming but competitive to push you. I started class on my own, didnt know anyone but everyone made me feel welcome and was happy to help me. You won't find a better place to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu than here.
I have spent nearly 16 years as a student of Tony’s and in that time I have gained a wealth of knowledge not only of jiu jitsu but life as well. Tony is not only an amazing teacher/coach, I see him as a father figure and someone to truly look up to and try and be like. Tony is the epitome of a martial artist and we are massively lucky to have such a great martial artist as a leader/coach/father figure. So if you want to learn jiu jitsu there is no where better!
Training at Tony’s academy has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Tony, the owner and head instructor, brings years of knowledge and experience to every class. He has a real gift for teaching—he focuses on the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, explains concepts clearly, and makes sure everyone, no matter their level, understands what they’re doing and why they’re doing it.
Beyond being an incredible coach, Tony is an all-around great person. He creates a supportive, motivating environment that feels like a second home. The gym has become a place where I’ve grown not just physically, but mentally as well. Honestly, I’d be lost without it.
If you’re looking for high-quality BJJ training, a welcoming community, and a coach who genuinely cares about your progress, Tony’s academy is the place to be.
Highly recommended.
I had been looking for a ju-jitsu club for my son who had been to a few other martials arts clubs manly kickboxing ones but he didn't like them but with Tony's it was totally different it's a family run Dojo. My son loves his classes and they are professionally run but still retains the fun element . All of the kids respect eachother and there's no clicky element with the parents it's a joy to see my son's confidence grow and his ju-jitsu skills progress…. I actually wanted to update my review and share my Sons and Daughters journey while at Tony’s dojo. I’m so happy to say that My Son is now a Black belt and my Daughter is a Brown belt and I can’t thank everyone who has supported and help my children achieve something so amazing. The club has never changed and always promotes a family friendly atmosphere that builds children’s confidence and abilities. I believe the pictures speak for themselves.
I have been studying and teaching traditional jujitsu for over 20 years and felt I needed to improve my ground game. Tony is a BJJ black belt under Nic Gregoriades (founder of the Jiu-Jitsu Brotherhood and Roger Gracie's first ever black belt) and is one of the best teachers I have come across in any discipline. If you are looking to learn BJJ, he comes highly recommended.
