I was away for work purposes and decided to look up a bjj class in the area. I found the class and contacted Colin who was more than helpful.
The jiu-jitsu class was fantastic. Both coach and students were very welcoming and friendly throughout.
Great technical work and the students were performing at a high level.
Thanks again. 👍🏻

I love this place! I first started coming as my kids started in the TKD class and they love it, Colin and the other coaches treat all the children with such kindness but also show them the importance of discipline. I joined the classes a few months ago and Gill is the most supportive, relaxed instructor who has fun with you but won't let a poor technique go unnoticed. The group dynamic is fun and friendly, it's like a wee community and I love it!

Chimera is my favourite place to let off some steam 😄 Gill’s strength and Boxing classes are suitable for all levels of fitness. I have really enjoyed learning all the boxing and kickboxing techniques over the past couple years. Gill is patient at all times and a great motivator 🙌🏼 If you’re not already involved then GET INVOLVED.!!! You’re only regret will be that you didn’t start sooner 🥊🥊 💯
