Student Stories

BJJ has been hugely rewarding

For me BJJ has been hugely rewarding. I have enjoyed to watch my skill set grow and have fun with a great community of people. It has taught me a lot alongside helping me improve my self defence skills. I really reccommend it whether you want to win medals, learn self defence or just have fun.

Confidence & Strength from Day One

My daughter has been training with StandStrong since the age of 5 (now 9). StandStrong has helped her physical and mental development, and she is growing into a strong and confident young woman, as a result. The team are really passionate and committed to the kids and their growth.
