Timetable

I’ve been training Jiu Jitsu with Craig for about six months now, and my level has improved massively in that time. I train twice a week, but there are classes running most days for both gi and no-gi. Craig coaches with genuine positivity and enthusiasm for the sport, and his attention to detail when breaking down techniques makes every session valuable. He has a great way of explaining the intricate details of each drill, which really helps everything click.

Really happy with the new BJJ classes at Motiv8. Coach Craig is super open-minded and welcoming, and the training’s been top-notch. Great group of people to roll with, can't recommend it enough!

Ashby BJJ is a great place to train. The team are welcoming and friendly. Craig is knowledgeable and always ready to provide support and advice. Personally, It’s one of the only places I’ve found where I can train and come away feeling happy which is very important in today’s world. I highly recommend Ashby BJJ to anyone.
