I've been training in martial arts for 5 years now - Muay Thai, BJJ, and under Joe, wrestling. I can confidently say that Joe is one of the best coaches I've worked with - he makes everyone feel welcome, he is great at breaking down the minutia of techniques, and most importantly with a grappling coach - you feel safe. I would wholeheartedly recommend the wrestling classes, for whatever purpose - BJJ, MMA, or even just for fun. Coaches like Joe are hard to find.

Since I started training with Joe I have noticed an immense benefit to my physical and mental health. Training with Joe allowed me to regain my confidence and establish an incredible foundation for my wrestling and jiu jitsu game, all the while helping me recover from a neck injury and stay pain free when grappling. I am extremely thankful for all that Joe has helped me with and consider his teaching method and coaching to be one of the best I have ever come across. The training with Joe truly is amazing and extremely high quality. Definitely 100% recommended to everyone interested in learning grappling sports.

Joe is an experienced coach for JiuJitsu. I had a couple of privates with Joe to improve my BJJ and get me ready for my blue belt, he was always clear on his instructions during the session, and responded to questions even outside of our sessions. I would definitely recommend Joe for privates, whether that's gi, no-gi or wrestling, he knows his stuff!

Best Wrestling Coach in town! I’ve been learning wrestling from Joe 1-1 for a while now and because of him, my stand up game has got so much better. He breaks positions, movement and techniques down to make it so easy to learn. Highly recommended!

I have done PT sessions with Joe both for wrestling and strength & conditioning. The sessions were always well structured and fun. I would recommend it for anyone trying to build their confidence in wrestling.

Always a fun wrestling session with Joe. Ranging from different techniques from judo and wrestling for no-gi jiu jitsu, I love the chill environment and the way Joe teaches with extra care and details.

Working privately with Joe has been great! His teaching ability is fantastic and he has the ability to cover things in great detail technically, yet explain, demonstrate and deliver in a non complicated and understandable manner. Joe is able to assess your existing abilities and skillset, addressing any weaknesses and working to enhance any existing strengths you may possess. Sessions with Joe are well worth the investment and in a relatively short time he has been able to elevate my wrestling skillset greatly. Would definitely recommend!

Joe works with your level and game to help you build your stand up game for jiujitsu! Now I feel way more confident to take people down and have also put that into practice in comps!

Cannot recommend Joe enough. Doing privates with Joe did not only give me confidence in my stand up for BJJ comp but also gave me the tools to succeed with the takedowns. Excellent attention to details while also adjusting the sessions to your abilities (me 42 year old).

Joe is extremely concise in his coaching and his sessions are well thought out. I have found this has helped me to understand the purpose of each technique which is overall an ideal way to learn so you do not make the same mistakes. Joe is professional and patient and I cannot recommend him more highly. Since reaching out to him I have gained so much confidence in my stand up game and I really enjoy wrestling now. I definitely recommend Joe to anyone looking for great quality personal training!

Couldn’t have anything better to say about Joe. Not only a great coach who methodically takes you through movements, but a friendly guy who makes you feel welcome from your very first session. Always a fun session!

Joe is a very technical coach in both wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. He is fantastic at teaching key details which enable the practical use of techniques under pressure in sparring. He is a very strong wrestler and is equally strong at Jiu Jitsu, meaning he can blend transitions from standup to ground and back again for his students, while combining defense and offense. Highly recommended.

Joe’s a 10/10 coach with massive amounts of in-depth and insightful knowledge. Any question I’ve had he’s not only had an amazing answer to, he’s been able to explain it to me in a way that it can soak right in and stay. Since training with Joe I’ve seen a massive spike in not only my wrestling, but my BJJ too!! Amazing coach, amazing person; definitely recommend!!!

Joe is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He teaches no-gi stand up techniques adapted to b-jiujitsu. What I like about his teaching is the ability to explain the techniques in a very simple manner. He allows time for a lot of drilling which helps with remembering the technique. I find myself feeling more confident when standing up during sparring thanks to Joe.

Joe is a fantastic wrestling coach with incredible attention to detail. His classes are suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. He is always happy to help with any questions or concerns. Besides all that, Joe is a very friendly, happy person and is a pleasure to be around. You won't find a better coach than Joe!

Joe is the best wrestling coach I’ve had by far, I’m someone who has really struggled with stand up for my BJJ (aka a guard pulling addict…) and never in my wildest dreams thought I’d enjoy stand up or wrestling. Joe has changed that completely and made wrestling super accessible and most of all fun, I’m now hitting takedowns in my sparring and actually looking forward to developing my wrestling game which used to be unthinkable! Definitely book in with Joe to see your wrestling improve, you won’t regret it!

Joe has been my wrestling coach for 18 months now and I attribute my massive improvement and new confidence to his excellent coaching. Without Joe I would still feel very vulnerable in the standing position. I highly recommend Joe for anyone wanting to improve their wrestling skills and become confident in wrestling for Jiu-Jitsu.

Joe is a fantastic coach & wrestler and such a positive and sincere person to train under - always very welcoming and creates a great atmosphere. Training under Joe has been a big help and highlight - strongly recommend. Joe has a really good understanding of what to take from wrestling and apply to jiujitsu & grappling, which is becoming more and more important in modern BJJ. Don't be just a guard puller! 😂

Joe's a hugely knowledgable coach who has helped me feel more comfortable and confident in the stand up. His teaching is clear and well paced, with the right amount of detail to help things click for beginners and more experienced wrestlers. Also, Joe's a lovely person who is always down to have a laugh - love a Joe class! :)

Dominik Sanchez

I originally had a little bit of wrestling experience before joining Joe's class, since then Joe has introduced me to a whole new style of wrestling and his way of teaching the little details is priceless. Joe links wrestling and jiu jitsu together very nicely and shares it all with us leaving no questions unanswered. Highly recommend stopping by.

Following an injury I worked with Joe to recover and improve my mobility for grappling. Joe put me on a tailored program utilising his deep knowledge of PNF stretching, enhancing ROM and grappling specific optimised mobility drills. I learned a huge amount training with Joe and saw some very meaningful mobility improvements. Joe helped me a lot, he really knows his stuff, is fun to train with and operates from a superbly equipped gym. I can wholeheartedly recommend his services.
