    Have been training with Coach Nico Han for 10-days or so now, while in Bali this summer. It has been a great experience so far. Nico is a super humble guy, and really hands on. He's rolled with me each session. I am a 48 Y.O. 1-year WB, training in Gi, and this club is mostly no-gi. So new guy, no spring chicken, throw in that its a club in a new part of the world with a bunch of dudes that I've never met, to say that I was nervous would be an understatement. However, Nico and his team have been welcoming from the first moment. I am a much more confident BJJ practitioner now than I was last week, great job and thanks guys. Super good value as well, Nico isn't hammering the tourists for all their Rupiah either. The teaching style and format is cool. Super chill, and based on progressions. All this last 10-days or so we've been working on back Mount escapes, with transitions to top position, darce chokes, ashi garami, etc. Then positional same, and then rolling. It's cool to stay on one thing for several sessions, getting lots of reps and dialing in the little details. I can't wait now to get back to my home club, which I love, and then let them take my back, ha! This has been a great summer holiday so far. Being able to train consistently at Synergy has been the apple on the pie.

    Had an amazing experience training here with Niko and my partner. My partner and I are here in Bali on a trip and decided to drop in. Niko is super warm, welcoming, and helpful. He was super approachable to us beginners and gave us a bunch of helpful tips. The studio itself is awesome — cool and breezy. Amazing experience would highly recommend!

    Coach Niko is extremely knowledgeable and made the class experience awesome. Had a great time training here be sure to check it out if you’re in Bali! I left my friends in Kuta Beach and drove 40 min to get here. Would definitely do it again

    Coach Niko is super friendly and relaxed and his instruction is basic enough for beginners yet there are lots of details for more advanced students to pick up on. I've learned some great techniques to add to my game and I love that coach Niko points out the mechanics of becoming efficient rather than using strength. Classes are small enough to get a few personalized pointers but there are is a wide enough variety of students from beginners to black belts to roll with. A great school and I look forward to visiting again in the future!

Can recommend it to anyone. (Original) Een hele fijne les gehad met zeer veel kundigheid gegeven. Kan nog een maal gaan komende dinsdag en die heb ik dan ook gelijk geblokkeerd.

    Came by for a no-gi class during a short trip to Bali. I had a great time training here! The techniques being taught and instruction from Niko was awesome, very detailed and some stuff I can immediately add to my game. Everyone was also very friendly and welcoming, and the level of BJJ was definitely high for everyone I rolled with. It’s situated on a rooftop space with plenty of mat space, nice view and cool breeze. I am definitely going back whenever I get the chance. Can recommend to anyone, both beginners and experienced folks!

    Great academy with exceptionally supportive folks and a great professor Niko – coming here was probably my best decision in a while :) People usually train without gi which is a good thing for newbies since you won’t need any equipment to start 👌

    Great academy with a very friendly atmosphere. Niko welcomed me and was very hospitable, he's a great teacher who makes sure everyone understands the techniques he teaches before moving onto something new. Thanks again Niko and next time I'm in Bali I'll surely swing past

    Absolutely amazing place to come and train your BJJ whether you’re dropping in on holidays, like me, or living in Bali, like I used to. I like the way we learn the submission and the defence to the submission each class and then get into some free rolls. Niko has a great attention to detail and everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the rooftop has a nice natural cool down breeze, you can’t really ask for more!

  • 5/5 Shahrose S. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    It was an amazing experience getting trained by Professor Niko. He's extremely knowledgeable and focuses on developing an understanding of the right techniques and positioning of the body to use to your advantage. One of the best things I liked about the sessions is that he teaches you how to use your skill to defend yourself in real life scenarios. Highly recommend !

  • 5/5 Alex K. 7 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    If you’re thinking of training whilst in Bali I can’t recommend Synergy BJJ enough. Extremely welcoming, fantastic knowledge, amazing location and vibe. Niko the coach extremely articulate and professional. 5 stars. Don’t miss out.

  • 5/5 Kazunori K. 10 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Great experience in Bali. Nice breeze on the rooftop and kindly welcoming to visitors. Lesson was quite useful and roll according to the level of visitors. Moreover, professor Niko is a super-nice guy. I will definitely visit again when come to Bali.

  • 5/5 Kris L. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a 1-1 session with Nico, to go over some specific points that I needed to address to improve my game. He was super skillful and generous with his knowledge. Really helped me out and gave me lots to work with when I return to my home gym. I'll definitely go back when I'm next in Canggu.

  • 5/5 Joe B. 4 years ago on Google
    Trained with Niko for the month i was there. Great training and details. Definitely left with an improved game after the month. Have met a lot of great people there and a lot of people who return just to train with Niko. Definitely get some training in if your in the area.

  • 5/5 Sina A. 4 years ago on Google
    What an amazing experience training here. Niko Was extremely informative and helpful in and off the mats. Being in his presence at his academy was like feeling at home during my travels. Thank you so much for the opportunity and great experience. Cheers!

  • 5/5 Ursina 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Loved it! A great place with great people. You feel right at home on the mat. Niko clearly showed the techniques and gave enough time to learn them. I can only recommend! (Original) Loved it! Ein toller Ort, mit super Menschen. Man fühlt sich direkt wohl auf der Matte. Niko zeigte die Techniken klar und gab genügend Zeit, sich diese anzueignen. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!

    Beautiful surroundings. Great atmosphere. Clear instructions. Thanks again for a great session.

  • 5/5 Calvin S. 8 months ago on Google
    I came to Bali on a short trip and looked around to see where I could maybe drop in. I found synergy bjj on google and decided to come to one of their classes. Professor Nico was super cool/ chill/ and had excellent instruction and details. He made sure to take his time and explain to me the moves that were being done that day and made sure that when I left I had a thorough understanding of what was taught. He was very kind to beginners and was very patient despite the many questions. I will most definitely come back to drop in whenever I am in the area. Thank you again Professor Nico!

  • 5/5 Avi A. 1 year ago on Google
    Niko Han is a great coach who has attracted like minded students. It was a honour to train with you all, I won't forget the things you taught me. My only regret is not staying longer.

  • 5/5 Nicholas L. 7 months ago on Google
    Dropped in last week to train and had a great time. Niko is welcoming and skilled black belt with a great teaching style. The class was about half travelers and half regulars. The technique he taught was useful and the rolls afterward were controlled and technical. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Emy T. 1 year ago on Google
    I was coming to Bali for 14 days and wanted to train while I was here, coach Niko is super friendly the gym has such a welcoming environment. Be ready to roll, the workout is fire! When in Bali definitely the place to train 🤙

  • 5/5 Carlos Arturo Arrazola L. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the pleasure of training here while visiting Bali. Very friendly atmosphere, beautiful views and awesome Jiu Jitsu. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to train in Bali. I will be back for sure 🙏🏽🥋 Thank you guys!

  • 5/5 Adam U. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped by for a session after a shoulder dislocation. Everyone was understanding and super helpful especially Niko, the coach. Cannot recommend enough. Definitely stop by if you've got the option!

  • 5/5 Euan H. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a privilege to be able to train for just 2 sessions with Niko during my time in Bali- I learnt so much As a white belt, advanced no gi classes can often be too complicated and you can feel like your wasting the time of more advanced classmates. However Niko was humble, patient and took the time to break each small part down until he was satisfied I understood the techniques. Will definitely train again when I return to Bali and would 10/10 recommend to any locals looking for a gym or travellers passing through in need of a couple classes

  • 5/5 Leonardus C. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice rooftop gym with a beautiful tropical scenery and a cooling breeze, very fitting for a gym located in Canggu. Niko is very knowledgeable not only in BJJ techniques, but also in the history of BJJ and grappling martial arts. Was a bit nervous at first as a no-stripe white belt who's never really trained no-gi before, but everyone was really humble and friendly. Definitely recommend for any BJJ practicioner visiting Bali!

  • 5/5 Jason Han (Surf Bum N. 1 year ago on Google
    Coach Niko is very welcoming and informative. I have social anxiety and it was real easy and comfortable to get into the classes. Already had 3 sessions and will be back for more. The venue is open air and nice and breezy.

  • 5/5 Ash M. 1 year ago on Google
    Was honoured to be able to visit and train with Coach Niko while on holiday in Bali. Sessions had great details in drilling, moving into situational sparring and free rolls. The crew were awesome, inviting and accepting. Rolls were great, a delicate mix of firm and relaxed. I cant wait to visit again next trip.

  • 5/5 Food - J. 1 year ago on Google
    It was an honor to be able to attend Coach Niko's No-Gi session! Fun, chill, and friendly environment! Will drop by again when I'm in Bali, for sure!

  • 5/5 Sage C. 1 year ago on Google
    Coach Nico and the whole gym were so welcoming and helpful! The lesson was easy to follow and was taught really well. The rolls afterwards were amazing and I can’t wait to go back. Highly highly recommend when you’re in Bali :)

  • 5/5 Crystal N. 1 year ago on Google
    Trained here for a week while traveling throughout Asia and loved it! The team and instructor Niko is amazing. Niko is super friendly and great at instruction. The class was very organized and focused on a series of techniques for the week, which was helpful for retention. Everyone was welcoming and willing to help me out and teach me new things. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Bali!! Thanks Niko!!

  • 5/5 Koos B. 1 year ago on Google
    I did a drop-in training on my last holiday here, because I already heard good stories about this gym. And I was not disappointed, it was an awesome training with excellent students (giving me as really tough time 🙂) and a very methodical and detail-oriented sensei. Highly recommended, also for just one class.

  • 5/5 Dan H. 3 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed training here. There is a great group that train here and the atmosphere is always a welcoming one. Excellent instruction and personalised communication from Niko means you won’t regret training here. Can’t wait to get back. Thanks synergy

  • 5/5 Luka R. 3 years ago on Google
    I went to Synergy for my first ever class and felt completely comfortable and safe when Niko introduced himself and showed me the ropes. Niko is extremely knowledgeable and has had so many experiences with other great instructors and fighters. I’m glad that my first BJJ experience was with him as it will set me up perfectly at the next school I go to. All the best Niko

  • 5/5 Rudy S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Prof. Niko Han will teach with his detailed and unique approach of BJJ. Great location also, fresh air, great view (you have both the mountain and the beach). And the skill of the people there are great too, they will trick you with their gentle smile before make you taps here and there. 😄🤙🏻 Awesome.

  • 5/5 Pitono02 I. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to train, and Prof Niko is a very good BJJ Master The way he teach is in details so it makes us easy to absorb

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely open air space. Everyone is welcoming. Nico is a great instructor and I really enjoyed my first time learning BJJ.

  • 5/5 Albert 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to practice BJJ. Niko (the coach) organises the lessons by systems, this way everything makes sense, instead of different techniques with no connection between them. The guys at this place are very cool and easygoing. The location is just great! All of it is open air, on 2nd floor. It feels a lot nicer than being inside a room. Been training there since I arrived in Bali and I will continue going.

It’s been a while since training with the Synergy crew and absolutely love the new facility a real tropical Bali experience. Highly recommend to drop in and have a roll next time in Bali I certainly will be 👍

  • 5/5 Ivan B. 4 years ago on Google
    Training with Niko at Synergy BJJ Academy has been absolutely great! Niko has been very welcoming and all of the people training are open and friendly. As someone starting my journey in BJJ, this has been critical for me to keep up with training. Niko is super proactive in making sure you’re getting the technique right. The location is excellent: clean, open air, easy to get to, and views of mountains and ocean...can’t beat it!

  • 5/5 Alex R. 4 years ago on Google
    I was in Kuta for a couple of days and had not practiced jiu jitsu in a long time. I decided to give Synergy BJJ a try, and it was what I was hoping for. A professionally run place with chill vibes, multiple belt levels, and a caring and legit black belt instructor. This place will rent you GIs, and you'll also be able to purchase rash-guards for no-GI days on-site. They're also very responsive via email, and they'll answer your queries in a timely manner.

    I decided to start Jiu jitsu at age 47 and I love it. Niko is a great teacher with years and years of training and experience from around the world. I would recommend Synergy BJJ to anyone wether beginner or advanced.

  • 5/5 fmiravalles 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome place to train while in Bali. This is a fantastic BJJ class, straightforward no-nonsense teaching by coach Niko who creates a great atmosphere. The regulars, a mix of locals and expats with very good level, are super welcoming and ready to share their knowledge and every class you also have the chance to train with visitors from all over the world.

  • 5/5 Mui J. 4 years ago on Google
    This gym has gi and no gi classes. I didn't bring my kimono so I trained the no gi classes for my third time of my BJJ journey😅. So much different from gi, but it was fun! Niko is the coach and he is very patient and friendly. He stays after class to answer students questions. Very professional and have the heart of BJJ. I will definitely train here again when I come to Bali next time! PS. One of his students called Johnny, he is a "Neck Collector"! Watch out his Darce choke and Guillotine! I hated it! Other then these, he is a handsome nice guy🤣

  • 5/5 Viktor J. 4 years ago on Google
    Kind and welcoming asmosphere. Good location in Canggu above a restaurant with a scenic view from the mats. Only had the chance to train once but the coaching was very good and methodical with nice drills putting the techniques together. A fun training session with some solid rolls at the end.

  • 5/5 Oleg K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great spot & coaching. Niko is a solid instructor who chains concepts really well. I dropped by for one session during a short holiday and that 1.5 hrs session really improved my understanding of nogi takedown game. The session was a good mix of drilling and learning new concepts to a full on rolling after the class. The venue itself is an outdoors rooftop mat which adds on to a great atmosphere at the club. Highly recommend paying them a visit. I for sure will be coming back.

  • 5/5 Nathan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere! One of the best studios I’ve ever been too

  • 5/5 Ryder O. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a private session with Niko yesterday. His open mind and attention to detail are two things that make him a great teacher. I appreciate his focus on self defense and real world situations. Wish I was going to be in Bali longer so that I could continue my training with him! Thanks, brother.

    The outdoor painting was beautiful. And it was a strange experience. I saw it for the first time, and everyone was kind, and they left me a memory of taking classes with good people. The teacher answered each student's questions one by one in detail. He is a good leader and teacher
