Coach Paul is a very effective instructor and coach and so are the rest of the professors here. Definitely come in for a trial class wether you’ve never trained before or if you already have some experience, you won’t be disappointed. The mats are always clean and well maintained.

You won’t find any massive egos here, just people who want to up their game and help each other improve.”
