I have not been doing Brazilian jiu jitsu for very long and I am only a new student of Craig, but from the first lesson I was hooked and have missed it during the lockdown. Craig is a knowledgeable and passionate coach and he brings enthusiasm and humour to every lesson. Everybody else in the gym is also very helpful and accommodating even if it’s your first lesson. I have felt welcome in the gym from day one and feel a part of the jiu jitsu family at the academy and look forward to training as much as I can. The GMAA is truly an excellent place to learn and train jiu jitsu.

My experience with BJJ at GMAA has been a game changer. As a 5’1 girl, I’ve always felt it was important to learn self defence but never actually had the courage to do it. I went in completely blind and extremely intimidated by all the big guys I’d seen before rolling around and sparring. From the moment I stepped on the mat, I felt welcomed specially by coach and even though I had no idea what I was doing, there was always someone ready to help and give pointers. As someone who has never been athletic, I was never made to feel incapable but was actually encouraged and pushed to do better. This has played such a big part of why for the first time ever I’m excited to train in a sport. From the short time I’ve spent at GMAA, it’s been nothing short of amazing and I know it’s where I want to be.
What it means
What training at GMAA means to me is control. Anxiety and being a small person in general has made me feel vulnerable in situations more times than I’d like to count. Even though showing up to training can be a battle sometimes, there’s nothing more rewarding than controlling and overcoming that anxiety or lack of motivation, getting on that mat and training your little heart out. The physical training and BJJ skills I’ve attained has boosted my confidence and given me a sense of security knowing that there are actions I can take if I ever feel vulnerable or unsafe.
This is just the beginning of my journey with GMAA and BJJ. I never would have thought that I would be interested in a sport much less excited to train for it but GMAA has really change that for me. Can’t recommend GMAA and Mr. Coach man himself, Craig highly enough.
