It's like our second home, great family environment, great teachers and an awesome way to equip our children (and not so children!) with positive physical and mental skills as well as encouraging camaraderie and healthy living.

I honestly had no idea how much this sport and group of people would affect me! Coming from competitive powerlifting into a marital art/ sport, I'm not gonna lie it was extremely tough. I thought my lungs were going to explode, I was 22 stone with very poor mobility due to muscle size and tightness so sparring for 2 minutes was hard, the warm up was hard and I didn't understand all of the terminology and techniques, but I was eager to learn and encouraged by my new team mates. The more I trained the fitter I became lost over 3 stone and I'm much calmer now , I've even learnt to deal with stress in a much more positive way and on the whole I feel happier than I did before BJJ. The terminology and techniques become clearer. After a solid 18 months of training, competing and loving BJJ I was awarded my blue belt by Loz. I have to say you really have to work your arse off the achieve any thing in life and BJJ is no different other than the fact my journey so far has been life changing in the most awesome way, my team mates are like family and going to a big tournament to compete together is one of the best feelings. I guarantee if you don't mind hard work to achieve your goals or even if you'r a more laid back type of person from pretty much any walk of life then it's worth giving BJJ a try! CGABJJ is friendly, honest and badass!

If you never try anything out of your comfort zone you'll never really know what you might like! Ooosss!

Everyone here is friendly and welcoming. They will also teach you how to choke people. What more could you ask for?

Awesome instructors, great bunch of like minded training buddies, top notch facilities, with a real good vibe and team spirit. Train for self defence, competition or just for fun... either way you'll feel a part of something very unique!
