BJJ Practitioner
I've been a member of Defiant Martial Arts for almost 6 months, and I can't recommend this club enough! I don't have a contact sports background or any form of martial arts experience prior to joining, so it's safe to say I was very nervous stepping onto the mats for the first time. Justin, his coaches, and all the members made me feel very welcome and put my nerves at ease and safely let me experience arm bars for the first time!! Like me, take your first steps with Defiant Martials Arts and make friends and experiences for life!
BJJ Practitioner
Fantastic and very welcoming gym. Justin is highly knowledgeable & experienced and has a great ability to teach without overwhelming novices (like me) with too much information. The other coaches and higher belts are always helpful and keen to offer their advice. My son also attends and he loves it - the difference in his discipline, social skills, listening to instructions etc has been fantastic. BJJ is tough but highly rewarding and this is a great place to learn!
Father and BJJ Practitioner
Great gym with amazing coaches and people. Started bjj 5 months ago, initially I was really nervous but the guys here made me feel welcomed instantly! Everyone is super friendly and the gym has a great atmosphere about it. Great place to start

Super friendly gym! I started here almost a year ago and I’ve dropped two dress sizes just with showing up to class and having fun. It’s such a different sport and the people are supportive and easy going. Gym is clean and there’s good space for changing. You can train only with women or the coach will place you with someone higher up to look after you. Always really good at monitoring how you’re doing, it’s great. Highly recommend!
