"My lad was so shy starting at Training Grounds. Six months on he walks into the room first. Kev and John are brilliant with the kids."
Leanne M. · mum of Alfie, 9
"Best thing we've done in Maghull. No egos, spotless mats, and the coaching is clear enough that beginners never feel lost."
Chris D. · dad of Ruby, 11
"She used to dread school after being picked on. Jiu-jitsu gave her something that's completely hers. Can't recommend it enough."

From age 8 up to 15. Classes are grouped so every child trains with kids their size and level.

What happens after the free class? How much is it?
