The BJJ classes have a good mix of men and woman at all levels and everyone is always very helpful which made it comfortable when starting off.

Fantastic experience: I started with a 4 week beginner Aikido course, and four months in, I am enjoying every aspect of my training. Every session is exciting. Ray is an excellent trainer, and his teaching methods are quite insightful. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn martial arts and also feel a sense of greater community in addition to the routine lifestyle. Everyone is respectful and quite helpful which also creates a healthy training environment.
Thanks Heta

Thanks Gayle!
Fantastic experience: Great space with excellent instructors! Would highly recommend
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I did the beginner BJJ course and it was amazing! Offered a very simple, easy to follow introduction to BJJ which I feel has given me a good base. Ray also focuses on self defence for the beginners course which as a young woman was a paramount reason when I decided to do BJJ. The gym is very friendly with plenty of women which is also extremely welcoming. I look forward to going back after exams and I couldn't recommend it more highly!
Thanks Eve
Fantastic experience: Teacher and students are very friendly here and training is absolutely safe. The club is a little bit hidden
Thank you Gabriela

Thanks David, we're glad you enjoyed the course.
Fantastic experience: I just finished the beginners aikido class along with my son, we've now signed up for the membership and looking forward to training more. Its a most enjoyable way to keep fit and agile, everyone there is friendly and helpful.
Thanks Patricia.
Fantastic experience: Really great instructors and everyone was friendly and supportive!
Thanks Kieran. We're really glad you enjoyed your beginner's course.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to BJJ here for about a year, 3 times a week, and it's been great. During the beginners' course you'll find that Ray's an excellent and patient teacher, but stick around a little and you'll see that all the higher belts are also extremely helpful. All the admin stuff - membership, time tables, communications,... - is also completely frictionless, so if you're interested in BJJ, I recommend this club, highly.
Thanks so much Jonathan.
Fantastic experience: Ive been training here for 5 yeara and it is an Outstanding club Brilliant culture Everyone is welcoming And ray is a brilliant teacher If you are considering trying bjj just do it! And come to balance!
Thanks Oisin

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes, friendly atmosphere
Thanks Alan
Fantastic experience: I took part in the 'Reduce the Odds' class and I have to say it was absolutely brilliant. Maeve & Ray gave such insightful advice and so many tips to make us feel safer when literally just living our lives! I would 100% recommend!! Thanks :)
Thanks Sarah, we're really glad you enjoyed the course.
Fantastic experience: I took part in the Reduce the Odds 4 week self defense course for women recently. I found it incredibly empowering. The techniques Ray & Maeve taught us were amazing. Any idea I had that I would be able to get out of an attack situation before this class went flying out the window after this course. We were taught such simple but effective techniques to give yourself the best chance to get away. Technique, leverage & timing beats strength. I would highly recommend this course to all women. Great course.
Thanks Glenda, we're really happy that you enjoyed the course.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Balance Martial Arts a qualified master working with you and lots of experienced students helping you to achieve your dream.
Fantastic experience: Can't rate this yoga studio highly enough. The instructors are brilliant, they really focus on making sure you have good technique. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I started training here since last year and I can honestly say it's the most welcoming place that I've been to. Maeve and Ray are so caring towards everyone and the place is like a community. It offers amazing classes (mma,bjj etc) and Ray is a great coach for Brazilian Ji Jitzu and Aikido. I would recommend to anyone that wants to start Brazilian Ji Jitzu etc to come here. Everyone is so nice and patient and they try to help you in the best way that they can.
Thanks Sarah
