Customer's reviews

I started coming to PureartBJJ around 4-5 months back, initially as a passing interest but 4 months later I'm still here and very much addicted! There's a very welcoming atmosphere and Adam's way of teaching is beginner-friendly, building up basic movements like tugging your arm away from an attacker up to more complex submissions that are then ironed out with 30-40 minutes of practice sparring. In each class there's a healthy mix of referring back to previous lessons while also acting as a standalone class, so there's never really a feeling of 'falling behind'. Even if you're a slow learner, like myself, each lesson gives one solid move you could use in a real combat situation. I'm glad I started coming along and I'd urge anyone who's interested to do the same - the first lesson's free! ~ George K
My first ever Martial Arts, I’ve now been at Pure Art for about two months. I’m 44 and could do with being in better shape. Adam and the group have been amazingly welcoming. There is no ego or bad attitude, everyone helps, learns, tries, laughs then tries again. Adam’s instruction is first class, he has a really high level of understanding of how to teach these skills. Always an explanation, several demonstrations and then useful tuition as you get stuck in. In the short time, I’ve learned loads, lost some weight and hugely improved my CV. I wasn’t short on confidence but am definitely more assured already. If you are certain you want to do BJJ then Pure Art is a great environment to do it. If you aren’t sure, then I promise you, the atmosphere and coaching at pure art is the best place to explore. ~ samuel O
I joined Pure Art BJJ in January, attending two sessions per week, and it has been an incredible experience. Adam, Jimi, and the entire team are not only professional but also extremely welcoming and engaging. They ensure that training is both effective and safe. After eight months of being a member, I'm amazed at the progress I've made under their guidance. My cardio and overall performance have improved significantly, thanks to their expert coaching. Adam explains techniques with great detail, covering various scenarios while highlighting the pros and cons of each approach. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Pure Art BJJ offers a safe and friendly environment perfect for anyone interested in starting their BJJ journey or advancing their abilities. ~ Tomasz W
