Awesome place to train. Good energy and vibe from the people who train here. John is a fantastic coach making everyone feel welcome and part of a team, has lots of experience and wants the best for everyone he trains, helping them achieve whatever goal they set

Faultless gym, coaches are all incredibly experienced and helpful, very welcoming environment. 10/10

Great team and fantastic coaching from experienced and friendly professionals; all techniques taught are practiced in real time. Any martial arts requires commitment and discipline but with John you’re really given the chance to grow to the level of your input. Highly recommended.

Hi to anyone that is reading reviews and thinking about starting mixed martial arts I would seriously think again before starting anywhere other than AMMA I have been an avid fan of MMA for many years now always tried to study the sweet science behind the art combat sports but never felt comfortable anywhere in my younger years. I suffered 2 strokes a couple of years ago and after that I lost all my physicality my motivation confidence in myself in every aspect of life . I recently starting looking at multiple gyms in the surrounding areas and checked a couple of them out I approached John and after I quick 10 minute conversation with him I knew I was selecting AMMA and it was 100% the right decision since training with John the only regret I have is not starting sooner ! He doesn’t teach in a generic fashion just teaching you the basics and trying to get your money he teaches everyone differently his records and achievements over multiple different combat sports is second to none and speak for themselves not only has he improved my overall ability in the fighting department but he has helped me leaps and bounds with my mental health I walk out of every session with a smile on my face and I feel like a new man even the mrs has got me to thank John on a personal level she has noticed a massive change in me and I honestly credit it all down to John and the team at AMMA ! I can honestly and whole heartedly say I wouldn’t recommend any other mma gym to anyone. I would like to thank John on a personal level for helping me improve not only my skills but also my life as a whole I’ll forever be grateful

I have known John and trained with him on and off for the last 12 years. We both came through the belt levels together. John is an excellent black belt instructor with a very motivating and technical style of teaching. He is an active competitor and has competed at every belt level, so he has the relevant experience to help any level of student from novice to advanced. John has also fought and won multiple times at the highest levels in mma. Most importantly John is a great person, and he is very humble considering how good he is.

AMMA provides a well thought out space for structured combat fitness, MMA and Jiu-Jitsu. John has the experience and teaching expertise to train all levels, across MMA disciplines. Thai, K1 kick-boxing and freestyle wrestling , along with catering for kids classes. As a beginner and now member, I can say with honesty the coaching and delivery of the sessions at AMMA are second to none. Well structured, sessions to build combat fitness and technique. Josh also coaches here and is again very experienced in the sport of MMA. Both cater brilliantly for all levels of attendee. It’s a really friendly crowd and every participant willingly helps others, and safely too. Unbeatable value for the level one can train at / aspire to.

I'm a 50 year old fella with two seriously arthritic knees and a restricted painful shoulder/chest injury. John works with me to adapt. I may still struggle with certain manoeuvres because of mobility and injuries... But before I started because of weak legs and shoulder I was struggling to get in and out of bath.. I genuinely contempled fitting a bath rail. Now because of learning to adapt in MMA and increased strength I am not in that position... Climbing down stairs still a struggle though but less so I play to my strengths in jiu jitsu and in Kickboxing switch stance to compensate... It stimulates my brain to solve the issues. The other lads in the main work with me too.

Went along to a beginners BJJ class. Was made to feel very welcome, which was great as I was pretty nervous! Everyone was super friendly and John is clearly very knowledgeable and skilled. Very clear instructions and takes the time to help you out if you can't quite remember the moves.

Perfect for beggeiners and advanced trainees. John, Josh and Allandis are the best coaches you could ever ask for! Also this is the only gym for miles miles that focuses on wrestling alongside BJJ

Great gym, great team & great coaches for all levels! Never trained martial arts before and was a little apprehensive to join a MMA gym but everyone here is super welcoming and supportive, all working together to be better. I did a weeks trial in October and haven’t missed a session since, which says it all!!!

12/10 Best gym best guys I highly reccomend beginners or advanced.

Love every second of being here, can go on a bad day and come out feeling amazing. John is a phenomenal tutor aswell as an amazing person himself, would highly recommend with the community behind this. Everyone is lovely and supportive which makes this place so special

Amazing gym Amazing coach Amazing team

John is a great Coach who is very detailed with his approach of teaching and also adds some humour so classes are never dull. We also have Kieran who teaches the Monday class so have an added bonus of learning from another great skilled practitioner. Great bunch of people in the gym, no egos, fun and safe environment to train at. If you want to train for self defence, to get in shape or competitions JJA is the perfect place.

Awesome place to train. I've been here since February after moving from Birmingham. Was looking for a good gym so tried a few out but none of them felt like home. John is a great coach and always creates a good atmosphere in the gym. Would highly recommend if your trying out jiu jitsu or if your looking for a good gym. 5*

Have trained with John on and off when I'm back in town and he gives great instruction. He's cultivated a welcoming and fun atmosphere at his gym. All about good vibes and hard work. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into martial arts or someone looking to make improvements at am already high level

Very recommended the class to anyone. A very great environment, John is very rich knowledgeable and a awesome coach. That's definitely a good place to training and increase your techniques with a so nice team.

Highly recommend John-jitsu academy! The classes are great I never want them to end! John is a great trainer/coach, very friendly, funny and he is very knowledgeable! Everybody is so welcoming and friendly the atmosphere is second to none! Never felt more part of a team! Roll on a lot more training and laughter in 2019! 💪🏼😊

Simply put - the best gym in Coventry with an amazing team and a great coach.

First and foremost, I would love to thank all John students for making me feel at easy. They are all bloody monsters at training but very kind to help you along when you are starting out. All credit to John and his team of teachers for being such good eggs. From the first touch of gloves you wish you never signed up because they will earn your time in that house😂😂. Love the academy and I highly recommend.

John is a great coach with a lot of knowledge and experience. Since being trained by him my skills and fitness has improved considerably. He teaches you a lot and is a great person to be around. I would recommend John-Jitsu Academy to anyone.

This is a great place for any level. It was really welcoming as a beginner; everyone is lovely and happy to help you. There's a huge range of people in the gym too. Every time i'm here I learn loads, get to roll and still have so much fun. John always breaks down moves so everyone has something to gain from the teaching whether it be the first time you've done it or honing certain parts. Absolutely love it here and can never wait for the next session :)

I highly recommend John Jitsu Academy. After training I am fully satisfied, tired and happy. Great team👊 John is a great motivator🤙

Great atmosphere and friendly welcoming vibe with experienced coach's
