The Agoge - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Awesome place, we have just moved into the area and have had a very warm welcome. Our kids 8 & 10 love the family classes on a Saturday morning. Friendly and experienced coaches. We are looking forward on continuing our BJJ journey here.

Awesome community of like-minded individuals and super welcoming. I'd recommend Justin, Dom, Miles, Richard and the rest of the Agoge team any day of the week!

Starting Jiu-Jitsu was made a lot less intimidating with the beginners program that Justin and The Agoge offers, it allowed me to understand the basics of Jiu-Jitsu before training with other artists who make the sessions just as welcoming

Been to a few trials at a few BJJ gyms, this is the only one that made me feel like a part of the crew from day 1. Connor's 5 Week Beginner program is by far the best starting point for anyone who is interested in BJJ but is a bit apprehensive about jumping in the deep end. Can't recommend this school enough, brilliant instructors (Connor, Bruno) and an awesome start point for a complete beginner.

Great place to train. Conor does a great job of running the 5 week beginner program. Perfect for anyone looking to get into BJJ.

5 weeks beginner + a few months in & can't mention in short, the dedication, passion & care of all the coaches + safety of their students, here you find great people and everything right about Jiu-jitsu, a great representation of martial arts.
Honour, respect and integrity everything you want in a gym
Appreciate you Agoge team

Highly recommend you give this gym a try if you are considering taking up BJJ. Having never done any form of martial arts and being in my mid 40s, I was initially a bit cautious with starting BJJ but Justin and his team have created a very open, friendly, and safe culture here. Everyone I've trained and rolled with has been fun and always focussed and having a safe time. The BJJ itself has been amazing for my fitness level, better and a lot more fun than any gym program I've ever taken part in.

We are so pleased to have found The Agoge BJJ, it has been excellent for my kids confidence and the team there are so supportive and patient with the kids. But best of all it is fun for the kids and great for their friendships. Today my kids went up a belt and they were so proud. Even I have started it as a mum and feel the best I’ve felt in years. If you’re thinking about it definitely give it a try!

Justin and his team at Agoge are fantastic, they are patient, knowledgeable and make learning BJJ thoroughly enjoyable.

As a BJJ practicioner of 12 years, I have trained at many BJJ academies and must say that Agoge is definitely one of the best I trained at. The classes cater to beginner, as well as advanced practicioners, and one gets definitely looked after. The coaches provide high level instruction and the facilities are clean which is one of my main criteria. Highly recommend!

So happy we found Agoge! My son is a little warrior type and we needed a sport that would keep him engaged, help him build resilience and also be really physical to give him somewhere to channel that energy. On the first day, he was so worried about making mistakes, he couldn’t participate and was really upset. The team were so kind and understanding, we came back for a session where I could jump in and help coach him a little which was so great, to help him build a bit of confidence. The team are really safety conscious and encourage the kids to look after each other which I love. By the next session, he was totally comfortable, did the whole lesson by himself and loved it. Highly recommend.

Friendly and welcoming community. The 5 week introduction classes were very beneficial for transitioning to the normal fundamentals classes.
Practical and engaging lessons. Very thorough and detailed on perfecting techniques and foundations of BJJ.
Highly recommend to others to join. I wish I had started sooner!

The 5 week beginners program was great and has me booking a full membership as I write this. A very welcoming community and Connor who takes the class was fantastic, knowledgeable and very patient. 10/10 recommend.

I recently started the women’s only classes the atmosphere is very relaxed and fun and the instructor is so friendly and takes the time to watch and encourage everyone. I have watched my son go to the the Agoge BJJ for over a year but I didn’t realise the technical depths involved until I tried it for myself, it really is a wonderful sport and I am glad to be doing it with the team @ The Agoge BJJ.

The Agoge has a friendly and welcoming culture. The 6am class is perfect for me as being a busy Dad, I can train before family/work take over. I can confidently recommend this gym to anyone that is thinking of taking the plunge and trying BJJ for the first time. Good Luck!

Great community and friendly trainers, would highly recommend for beginners looking at trying BJJ.

My son (age 5) and my daughter (age 7) just joined The Agoge family at the beginning of this year. The kids classes are fantastic - there are a range of times on offer every day of the week, and on Saturday mornings they also offer a 'parent and child' class which allows parents to take part free of charge too. The trainers are all excellent - they do a great job of teaching the kids to be disciplined but at the same time ensuring that the classes are super fun for all involved.
There is a grading for the kids at the end of each term, which helps to keep them focused and gives them a goad to work towards, and the club offer in house competitions on a regular basis also.
I've recommended The Agoge to all of my mum friends, and will continue to do so. We are so glad we've found it. My kids will be here for many years to come!

Justin and the team make the Agoge feel like a second home. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a thought out class structure and friends for life.

The Agoge has been such a great place to train. Everyone was incredibly welcoming when I started. The coaches have created a very structured and effective curriculum. It’s always got a positive vibe despite the competitive rolls. Heading to class is always the highlight of the day

My time at the Agoge has been a great experience.
Justin and The Agoge crew have become more like family.
Highly recommend giving it a go!
