Havering Jiu Jitsu Academy (Ardleigh Green) (BJJ ESSEX) Brazilia

I have been training here for a few months now and absolutely loving it. All the students are extremely welcoming and friendly, and always happy to share the knowledge they have. The coaches are great and break down technique extremely well. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn a martial art or just looking for a fun way to get in shape.

I used to train with Dave the instructor many years ago and after taking numerous years off, I found Dave had his own school down the road to where I live.

The club is fantastic place to train and develop your skills in the one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

The atmosphere is very relaxed and family like, but there aren't egos whilst training. Everyone is here to develop and the support from not only the coaches but the other classmates is second to none.

Been training at GB Havering with Dave and the boys since Christmas and it truly is an awesome academy.

I put myself off of learning a martial art for about ten years because ego's are pretty prolific in most and the thought of just getting smashed about always put me off, but they're non existent here and everybody truly just wants to see everyone else improve and do better.

Stop reading the reviews and just get your ass down to class!

I've been training here for over 4 years. The club has come on a long way since I first started, now benefitting from competition quality mats, plenty of parking, toilets and a small kitchen area if you forget to fill your water bottle! I can't recommend GB Havering enough as there is something for everyone, whether it's self defence, fitness, competition preparation or self discipline. With a friendly and welcoming atmosphere definitely worth a visit if your considering taking up BJJ ????????

I have been an instructor at GB Havering since it's birth in 2010. I would recommend the academy to anybody regardless of age or ability. The whole team are very friendly and welcoming. It has been pleasure to help the local community stay safe and become better versions of themselves through the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle.
