• “London Grapple is an outstanding BJJ academy with a truly welcoming atmosphere. I had the pleasure of dropping in while visiting for work and the moment I walked in, I felt at home thanks to the friendly members and staff. The instruction is top class, with Ross standing out for his ability to break down techniques in a clear and effective way. His attention to detail and structured approach make complex movements easy to understand and apply. Highly recommend to anyone. Looking forward to the next visit.”

• “If you’re looking for good fun and killer rolls you have to check it out. I came to London Grapple for a wrestling seminar. I ended up popping by for the class and open mat before. I was very impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and cleanliness of the gym. Ross’s teaching is absolutely incredible and the rolls I had at the open mat were really high level but I still felt safe and welcome. I have been bragging about the quality of the gym since. I would absolutely come back and encourage anyone else to check it out as well.”

• “I’ve traveled to London to watch UFC and figured I’d try and find a place to train some BJJ whilst I was here. London Grapple was the closest gym, thank god it was. The staff here are amazing, brilliant instructors and they are extremely welcoming. I’m quite new to BJJ yet everyone was kind and welcoming and willing to help. Not just the staff but the people attending the classes as well. It’s a great community! + Great and easy to use website for visitors”
