Best places: Martial arts schools in Greater London

👍👍 Was here for a work trip, but found some time to train jiu-jitsu. I heard about this school through a fellow teammate, and emailed them. Even though I was only there for a fundamentals and open mat, I was impressed. The staff was really nice, the instruction was great, and the students took trainin...

👍👍 I could not praise Herb and the team at Armour Training Academy enough. Great coaches, great atmosphere and lots of fun. The coaches are fantastic and each session is a hell of a workout! When I first contacted Herb about starting up with the gym he was fantastic and super helpful. He took into acco...

👍👍 I have trained at gym 01 for a number of years now, originally looking to improve my fitness, and have now competed in shows and am working towards my next grading. The atmosphere is fantastic, everyone is so friendly and welcoming from the staff and coaches, to the members. There is a huge variety...

👍👍 Paragon has been blessed for over 28 years with so many wonderful students that have helped shape my life and those of many others for the better. It's a great feeling being able to say that “I LOVE MY JOB” Osu warriors ;o)

👍 Ive going there for about 2 months for BJJ classes and I can see a major problem with the style of teaching. The problem is that if you are not ranking your students, there is no way to see who you are partnering with. As a novice to BJJ, you want to be paired with someone who is on your level or ab...

👍👍 So I joined London Fight Factory, end of 2018. Best decision of my life. Not going to say you don’t have to put the effort in. Not in the sense of motivation, but discipline, being consistent. I have failed a lot, but learn more. Also, LFF coaches developed me into taking onboard criticism to develo...

🫤 The Gauntlet Fight Academy advertises itself as a martial arts gym offering classes for multiple disciplines of fighting. This is absolutely not the case. This is a BJJ gym masquerading as an MMA gym. Before I go on, let me say this: if you are wanting to train BJJ then this place will be excellent...

👍👍 My two girls have been learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu at North 12 Academy for over 8 months now & from the first contact we had with Coach David & his team we felt so comfortable and in the best hands. It is an amazing place for children to learn new and life changing skills with the absolute best te...

😠 First and foremost when you check the review of this place check the lowest reviews and you notice a common theme. The owners attitude literally stinks!!! The owner of this business is extremely rude and unprofessional. I have never come across someone like this. My children did not attend 6 weeks...

👍👍 I have trained with this club for many years and have travelled the length of the country many times to do so. This tells you something about the high quality of its instructors and people. An excellent martial arts club, teaching practical self-defence in an inclusive environment. The grading syste...

👍👍 Simon and his team are great motivators and teachers. There's something for everyone here; hard hitters, polite punchers and charming conversationalists. Great intro to self-defence, especially if you're not in the best shape to begin with.

👍👍 My son has been going to these guys for a few years now as he's not really into team sports and needs lots of encouragement to be "sporty". The level of support and inclusivity that everyone offers here is really special and the standard of teaching is exceptional. I'm mega grateful to have a found...

Gym with a boxing ring, weights and punch bags, plus fitness and technique training sessions.

👍👍 Got to give them 5 stars.They no their stuff best of all its an academy. So the kids can grow instead of changing gyms. They have a fighting course if you actually want to train to fight. And compitions for the kids

🫤 Location is fairly central, overpriced Gi that you 'have' to buy when joining up, the black belt teacher isn't there for a lot of the classes, often short staffed, classes cancelled last minute, venue is small and lacking facilities for the pricey monthly subscription that is required. Also, I feel,...

👍👍 Aeon Bjj is fantastic, I am so glad I found this club. The coaching is top class, learning from some of the best athletes in the country. The head coach Eamonn is one of a kind, he cares deeply for his club and every single person that attends feels welcome and supported. My confidence has grown sin...

👍👍 I have known Owen King for a few years now. As an instructor myself, with my own club, I can say Owen is a fantastic instructor with a huge knowledge base that he is willing to share. I have attended Owen's seminars on many occasions with my own students. Whether they've been beginners or experience...

👍👍 Recently took a women's self-defence course which took place on a Saturday over 3hrs. As a smaller frame female - i found the course very useful and practical with hands on work. I had a good partner who was serious about learning (we both ended up happily bruised) and really tried hard with the t...

👍👍 My son absolutely loves this club! Fash the Sensi is brilliant with all the kids and adults, very welcoming MMA club! My son comes 5 days at week and is doing so well. Thank you 🙏

👍👍 My first ever Martial Arts, I’ve now been at Pure Art for about two months. I’m 44 and could do with being in better shape. Adam and the group have been amazingly welcoming. There is no ego or bad attitude, everyone helps, learns, tries, laughs then tries again. Adam’s instruction is first class,...
