Been training here since the club opened, it's a fantastic environment! Rodolfo is an excellent teacher with a fantastic knowledge base, his experience really shows through his instruction and commitment to the club. The other members are fantastic to train with and the club has an excellent atmosphere- new people are always welcomed warmly and support offered. Can't recommend the club highly enough- can I give more than 5*'s? :p

Certainly the best Jiu Jitsu teacher I came across in the UK. Talented, experienced, Brazilian champion and a very nice person. Rodolfo got what you need to learn the art and to have fun at the same time! Also great if you want to keep fit and feel confident about your defense skills!

The classes are taught by master instructor Rodolfo. It is a fabulous group of people wanting to learn and develop their grappling skills in a nurturing and challenging environment. Rodolfo pays close attention to detail in teaching technique but also affords plenty of time each lesson to apply the learning in sparring. All ages and abilities are welcome and catered for. Simply an outstanding place to train.

Such a friendly and professional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school. The instructor (Professor Rodolfo Patello) is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, the unique thing is ALL the students from beginner to senior grades are welcoming and spend a lot of time helping each other. The work ethic is amazing, hard (hard) work but a lot of fun doing it. If you are looking for a family feel Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, I thoroughly recommend d coming down for a trial session, I’m confident after doing so you’ll soon be part of the Patello family.

Fantastic place if you want to learn BJJ and meet new and lovely people keen to help you learn the techniques and the drills. I joined them recently and all the members I have known so far have welcomed me with open arms. For a person like me, who thinks that small gyms are better than big ones, I was glad to find this small place near home with such a great and friendly atmosphere. Rodolfo, the instructor, is very experienced and helpful and makes you feel comfortable since the very first moment you step in there.

Have restarted Brazilian Jiu Jitsu since a month now at Patello BJJ and has been great. I have trained in many places over the years and the family atmosphere here is second to none. Great students and great coach made me feel a part of the family from day one.

This gym is an extremely friendly, hard working, welcoming group of people and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is new to either Jiu Jitsu, or the local area. Patello’s consists of all skill levels from people doing their first session to high level black belts all intertwining with each other, sharing their knowledge and learning together. It is the only gym around that provides so many classes with the freedom to simply pick and choose when to attend, for a very affordable price!

Great environment for learning BJJ. Caters to all ability’s and everybody there is friendly and willing to learn from one another. Rodolfo, the head coach, is a pleasure to be around and is a great teacher. If you’re completely new or experienced it’s an awesome place to train!

Brand new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I can’t believe how lucky I was to find this place, as soon as I walked in I was welcomed and everyone introduced themselves which made me feel instantly at ease. Professor Rodolfo Patello offers professional tuition delivered at a manageable pace and will take time to break techniques down even further to ensure that everyone gets the best out of the session. Everyone else echoes this awesome teaching environment and helps each other out. Nice friendly bunch creating a community feel. Highly recommend.

Started my jiu jitsu journey 10 months ago under Rodolfo Patello and have enjoyed every second of it so far. The knowledge and skills I’ve obtained from not only Rodolfo but from every coloured belt has been incredible. Everyone who walks through the door is made to feel welcome and will be well looked after. Everyone is super patient when training with beginners and will do all they can to help. Lessons are 2 hours long giving you plenty of time to learn the specific techniques of that day/week and still have time for a good amount of sparing rounds. You will be better at jiu jitsu every time you step off the mats! Proud to be part of the team! Oss🙏🏻👊🏻

Patello’s is is an incredible club with incredible people. From my very first lesson as a complete beginner I was being shown all the basic moves with much higher belts. They really made me feel welcome. I would recommend this club to anyone. You get to learn from a master at the game who embodies everything you want from the sport. A true master at his craft. I’ve been out with an injury of late and can not wait to get myself back down at the club.

Joined at the end of 2022 and was immediately made to feel welcome and part of the team. The atmosphere is friendly and the level is good with a range of body types which make for some varied and exciting rolls. Rodolfo is very knowledgeable and rolls regularly with students, it's a fantastic place to train and I'm very happy there.

Though I could only commit to 3 months before having to relocate I was made to feel as welcome as any member of the Patello family. It boasts a fun, yet serious atmosphere where learning and curiosity are encouraged by both instructors and veteran attendees. Rodolfo is a legitimate Jiu Jitsu warrior who wants to see those that are willing to work hard succeed.

I highly recommend Patello Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club for anyone looking to improve their martial arts skills in a friendly and supportive environment. From the moment you step into the club, you are welcomed with open arms and made to feel like part of the family. Rodolfo/Paul and the students are incredibly friendly and always willing to help each other, creating an inclusive and camaraderie atmosphere. One of the things I appreciate most about the club is its focus on problem-solving. Rodolfo/Paul take the time to break down techniques and offer alternative solutions to make them more effective, allowing students to develop their problem-solving skills and improve their overall game. Patello club also places great emphasis on the values of honour, loyalty, and hard work. These values are instilled in students from day one and are reinforced through the teaching and practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It is evident that these values are not just words on a wall but principles that the club truly believes in and lives by. Patello Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Club is an excellent place to learn and train in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you want to improve your martial arts skills while developing valuable life skills such as problem-solving, honour, loyalty, and hard work, this club is the perfect fit for you.

Great teaching, the best people and an incredible experience. Would never want to go anywhere else after training for a year at Patello. Rodolfo knows his stuff and everyone makes you feel very welcome.

Rodolfo Patello’s jiu jitsu club is one of the most informative places to learn BJJ as I have learnt having zero knowledge of any martial art, lack of fitness and pre existing injuries. All belts within the club have motivated, encouraged and pursued in taking me a level of knowledge I thought I would never achieve. I have sparred with all belts from beginners to Mr Patello himself learning theory as well as practicing sequences in detail. Highly recommend this club much more than others.

Been to 2 other Jiu Jitsu gyms in the area and this was by far my first choice. It's half the price of some of the other clubs but I can't really see why. It's very rare thing in BJJ clubs that you will spend a decent amount of time with coloured belts right from the start, meaning you'll learn a lot faster than most other places. My very first lesson I had 2 purple belts spend a full half hour with me taking me through some side-control basics. You don't get that anywhere else. Learning BJJ isn't easy. It can be overwhelming in the beginning, but nowhere else nearby will make it as easy and approachable. It can be a bit intimidating going to a new club for the first time but everyone was very friendly and made it easy for me. I almost talked myself out of turning up to my first lesson, but it will probably be the best decision I have made this year.

Having never trained Ju Jitsu before it is always a little nerve-racking walking in to your first lesson, not knowing what to expect & what welcome you may receive. I am please to say it has been a fantastic place to train, not only for its welcoming community but also for the exceptional coaching provided. Whether you are a newcomer to BJJ or a seasoned practitioner, you’ll feel right at home here, and undoubtedly see significant progress in your skills.

Joined just under a year with no martial arts experience and was instantly addicted. Everyone at the gym is extremely welcoming and wants to help you grow. This includes the instructor, Rodolfo, who is always happy to speak to his students about any concerns or questions they may have. Due to this being a smaller gym you get a real personal experience where a lot of attention is given to each student as well as having a real family feel. Highly recommend to begginer and experienced BJJ players alike!

Great environment to learn jujitsu! Everyone is really friendly and was made to feel at home from the very beginning. Professor Rodolfo Patello is a excellent teacher if you want to learn jujitsu this is the best place

Have attended a couple of sessions now and have been bitten by the grappling bug! The sessions are brilliantly balanced between learning new moves, and putting them to use. I Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting to give it a try as the guys have been nothing but welcoming, and have really made me feel part of the team.

I trained here for a few sessions earlier this year and found it to be a great club. Rodolfo is an extremely knowledgeable experienced black belt who is welcoming to everyone who comes down. Him along with everyone else made me feel very welcome. Great training, with a great instructor and a great bunch of people. This club has a great vibe.

Went down to learn BJJ didn't know what to expect everyone down there are very humble and respectful everyone takes the time to help everyone out. The drills are technical so learning is there key objective so if you went down you'll definitely learn something new each time.

I joined Patello about two months ago. I had a stressful work routine and decided to try this club as a way to exercise and keep fit. From day one I was made to feel welcome. The coach is very patient and a great teacher. Despite his level of skill he always spends time with the beginners. The rest of the group are also lovely people. You always get time to roll under the watchful eye of the coach and the seniors who always know how far to go with the beginners. They have made a huge difference to my confidence and my cardio. Families and kids are always welcome here.

Very friendly atmosphere. Good size classes which at times resemble private tuition! Rodolfo is highly skilled and devotes time to each member. As opposed to most jitsu gyms, no two classes are the same, which keeps things fresh! I’d recommend to anyone!

Joined the club recently and have had a wonderful time learning the basics. Everyone there is so nice, and I'm looking forward to continuing.

I have been going for a few months now. The coach and the higher belts are so good at what they do so there’s much to learn and lots of people who are happy to teach you. Everyone is friendly and so there’s always a very positive atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning self defence!

Amazing atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming. Rodolfo is very experienced and gives a lot of support to all students. Highly recommend anyone no matter your level to come and train.

I did a lot of research on internet to find the best Brazilian Jiu jitsu club, and Patello BJJ is the only club that offers full time training, 5 times a week, 2 hours every session. So I joined Patello Brazilian jiu jitsu, and I must say it’s the best decision I made, it’s an amazing place, the professor is very kind, respectful, welcoming and helpful. And the training has made big changes in my life and helped me a lot.
