I trained in Team Renegade for two years, and was fascinated by the quality of coaching. The atmosphere was great and everyone was really supportive--advice and help from other teammates were especially important since I was a beginner. One of the best BJJ clubs where I have had a chance to train.

Great support from all coaches and the manager Harry. I have started training here for White collar boxing, ULTRA MMA. There has not been a session that I haven't enjoyed! If your looking to start anywhere, I reccomend this place 10/10. Update* I've recently returned for the BJJ classes with Tom Breese! This beginning of a journey has been brilliant and cannot stress enough, this place is a very kind and friendly environment for combat sports. I highly reccomend.

I've only been a member for a few weeks but really enjoy training here. So friendly and welcoming, the address has been updated now on Google. I've only attended Tom's BJJ and 1.30pm classes, they're really good he is such a patient coach and some excellent training partners.

Greatly overpriced, maybe good if you’re training to be a fighter. Trading and promoting on big names instead of good training. Been to a few gyms over the years. know the difference between good and poor. Very little attention spent by trainers per individual, and trainers generally seem inexperienced. Larger class sizes. Think the gym is too scaled up which might be okay if the price reflected - but it’s very expensive for what you get. Hopefully they get it sorted, best of luck.
