"Fantastic nogi gym. Great emphasis on technique. The kids program has 3-4 hours a day available for training. The kids program is taught with competition in mind but many beginers also attend and benefit from learning correct fundamentals from the begining. Prof JR maintains very respectfull mats and there is no bullying and all are welcome. We are very satisfied!!!"
