Love the classes, the team at GJ are all friendly and happy to help/take time out their work out to run through stuff with you if your struggling the profs/coaches are very approachable and like the rest of the crew allwas happy to help, l’ve been training here for just under 5 months 3 times a week and I can safly say l’ve left every sesh with more Jiu Jitsu knowledge I’m constantly learning from everyone in the academy and can’t wait to keep progressing

For the past 10 months at GJ, l’ve devoted myself to jiu jitsu, and the journey has been transformative. Each class has pushed me both physically and mentally, building resilience and patience. My progress is clear in my improved technique and growing confidence. The dojo feels like a second home, with supportive instructors and training partners who have become like family. This experience has shown me the value of perseverance and continuous improvement. Reflecting on my journey, I see how far l’ve come and how far I still have to go. I couldn’t recommend a better place to continue my development.

Glasgow jiu jitsu Academy is the number one place i recommend any parent to send their children. This place has changed my boys life forever in so many good ways from a shy young boy 2 years ago to a strong minded, confident young man. The values and respect that this school has provided blow my mind as a parent and could not ask for anything more. Thanks professors and everyone for everything you do for Peter and me now
