I've trained and been a member at a few different clubs now. Ascend is by far the best one. It has a super friendly atmosphere and is inclusive for all members. Anyone who's brand new to the sport or even a seasoned pro would be welcomed and supported. The classes are delivered by enthusiastic passionate coaches who want nothing more but for you to enjoy yourself and improve.

I started at Ascend in January as a loose sort of new years resolution. I'd been wanting to try Jiu jitsu for a while, I'd even been to other gyms and watched sessions but never felt comfortable to join in. From the minute I walked into Ascend I felt welcome and joining in wasn't a question. I started with the beginners classes and they are perfect if you have no experience. Everything is broken down so well and the instructors are always there to help or clarify understanding. Everyone that goes to Ascend is welcoming and friendly. The higher belts are always happy to help you with any questions you have and Sam and Ian the instructors are absolutely brilliant. They are patient, encouraging and above all really people oriented coaches. On top of having a great time each session, my fitness has increased massively and My mental health has had a massive boost. Jiu jitsu really teaches you resilience and consistency. Not to mention confidence. So happy I started. If you're thinking about starting I'd definitely recommend Ascend. (First session is free, what is there to loose?)
