Started training here in August 2021 at the tender age of 55. The welcome i received was awesome and the training has been fantastic. I’m now almost 3 years in and love every minute I spend there. Made lots of new friends and definitely feel part of a family.

No matter your age, give BJJ a go….i promise you will love it and get so much from it.

BJJ is one of those things I’ve wanted to do for a long time, little did I realise the hardest thing was walking through the door for the first time. The coaching team are brilliant, you are joining an elite school here with instructors that have studied the art for lots of years including travelling to source and learning from some of the best in the world. I wasn’t prepared for the fact all the members are also great, I’ve been really fortunate to make friends for life and I think the culture is a real representation of what a BJJ community should be like. If you are thinking about doing BJJ, get yourself to a beginners class and you will be met with open arms and support like you’ve never seen. Let’s go!

Great club. Great coaches. Absolutely brilliant style of teaching, discipline without over aggressiveness, respect and teamwork, just superb. My child goes here and they are superb with him. I highly recommend this club.

Fantastic place to learn BJJ, make friends and learn a new skill.

The coaches are fantastic at supporting new students. Also, I like how they spend time with each student and instill self belief.

Finally, the culture of the gym is friendly, diverse and people are at the heart of the gym.

I started training BJJ at the tender age of 48 years young. 8 years later Im still training as are my children and nephews. The academy is absolutely fantastic, welcoming, humurous, supportive, brilliant community vibe, and I have made some lifetime friends at the academy. Excellent teaching, brilliant support and most of all a joy to be part of the community.

Would highly recommend training at RGA Preston. The coaches and team are helpful, passionate about the sport, and have an unbelievable depth of knowledge. They tailor sessions to individuals and always practice safety first.

The timetable caters for all experience levels and very affordable too.

Words can't begin to describe the love I have for this club !!!

Before starting BJJ I was lost and I was just coasting through life feeling alone and misguided and through the advice of a close family member I started at RGA PRESTON.

I soon realised that BJJ is more than just a sport and that RGA PRESTON is more than just a club, everyone from the students to the professor's are a close family who don't leave anyone behind and we all get better together.

The level of skill and the amount of classes that are on offer is seriously next level.

This is the gold standard of what an BJJ academy should be ✅️

Been training there for over three months and I can honestly say, I don’t remember what life was like before training at this gym.

Not only is the quality of the training exceptional from a detailed technical perspective, but the culture is exceptional.

The gym is a safe environment; truly welcoming to all, regardless of age, prior experience, gender and ability.

The culture created by Professor Pan, the instructors and coaches is nothing short of phenomenal; everyone, and I mean literally everyone, has a vested interest in your progression and, as such, will willingly give of their time to pass down their expertise.

There’s also a large number black, brown and purple belts (apparently not the norm) giving so much experience on the mats and variation in style and approach, every session becomes a new learning experience.

Also, if you have kids- the kids coaching is a really well developed program producing some unbelievable talent in the younger members of the club, some of whom compete (and win) regularly.

Finally, the best part of the gym is the people who are awesome as is the community.

As someone said to me, all you need is to give it one hour and you’ll be hooked, and for me, they were right. Give it a go- 100%.
