I’ve been training at Chris Holdsworth Jiu Jitsu Academy for about 3 weeks now as a white belt, and it’s been an awesome experience so far. The atmosphere is welcoming, the instruction is clear and beginner-friendly, and everyone is supportive whether you’re brand new or more experienced. The coaches really take time to help you improve, and the training environment feels both challenging and positive. Definitely a great place to start or continue your jiu jitsu journey!

Coaches Chris, Lou and Dave have been nothing but welcome and supportive. I've grown so much since starting here, and it's had a huge positive impact on my life. I'm beyond grateful to be part of this gym.

I’ve been training here for about 6 months now, and this academy truly feels like a second home. The environment is welcoming, positive, and motivating. Everyone who trains here is skilled, respectful, and always willing to help each other improve. Huge shout-out to the coaches Chris, Lou and Dave — their knowledge, patience, and passion for jiu-jitsu really show in every class.

Five stars doesn’t feel like enough. Training at Chris Holdsworth’s Jiu Jitsu academy has been an incredible experience from day one. I walked in with zero martial arts or wrestling background and was immediately welcomed, supported, and made to feel like I belonged. The level of commitment from the coaches is truly best-in-class. They care deeply about your progress, your safety, and your confidence. Whether you’re brand new or highly experienced. Just as impactful is the community itself. Supportive, humble, and genuinely invested in helping each other get better.

Chris Holdsworth’s jiu jitsu gym is hands down one of the best training environments I’ve been part of. The instruction is top-tier—Chris and the coaches break things down clearly, focus on details that actually matter, and make sure everyone understands why techniques work, not just how to do them. The atmosphere is welcoming and professional at the same time. Whether you’re brand new or have years of experience, you’re treated with respect and pushed to get better at your own pace. Training partners are tough but safe, and the culture is focused on learning, not ego. If you’re serious about improving your jiu jitsu and want to train in a gym with high-level instruction and a great team vibe, this is the place to be
