"The most amazing place in the world to train Jiu-Jitsu. Heath Pedigo is an incredible coach who is selfless in his giving to others. The team at Pedigo Submission Fighting will relentlessly build you up to become a better version of yourself. At PSF you will find many world class athletes who are more than willing to help you become one of them. All you have to do is show up and keep showing up and one day you can be a champion too - this is the mindset that PSF instills. There is no better place to train, especially if you are a kid or young person looking for a place to call home."

"My five year old son loves doing jusitsu here! We travel for my husband's job and we have been going here for three months, I hope we stay in this area for a while because he has learnt so much! He has previously been to a jujitsu class in Texas and we only lasted three lessons because the way they treated him, however here is like not other place we have been! The one on one that the kids get with the couches is amazing during class, the way they teach them is fun and helps them remember and there any many couches in the class to make sure they are doing it properly and safely. There is a range of ages 5 to kids in their teens. The price is great and we go 4 times a week, there are days they wear the 'gi' and days they don't. CJ, Kate, Josh, Manni and Shianne (may have spelt that wrong) are brilliant and my little man will be very upset when we have to leave!"
