I’ve been training here for over 12 months, coming 2–3 times a week, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. The coaches are absolutely amazing – knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. The members are just as welcoming, creating a really positive and motivating environment on the mats. Whether you’re brand new to BJJ or have experience, this is the perfect place to train, learn, and be part of a great community.

Armour BJJ is an inviting, supportive and encouraging club! They are very family friendly and make everyone feel welcome. My daughter has been attending their Ninja classes for nearly 12 months and I can see her confidence is improving. I also recently joined and the club has been so warm and helpful. I attend the Saturday Women's Only classes and occasionally join in a mixed beginners class. Both classes are a lot of fun and everyone helps each other. Armour BJJ is a great club with a great culture!!
