Hear from our members...
Pete - Member since 2019 I joined Aragona martial arts after being assaulted on the walk home from work. I had spent several years training a traditional KungFu martial art and in the heat of the physical exchange the training I had did not suffice. Years of passive training and punching the air didn’t help in the real world. So once I had healed from my injuries I found coach Savio and I’ve simply never looked back. Within 6 months I felt I had a better understanding of self defence than 4 years in my previous traditional martial art. Now Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is far more than just self defence to me. It has become a passion and part of my weekly routine I couldn’t live without. Aside from being confident out in the world that I’m able to look after myself and my family, BJJ gives me a much needed mental reset after a long day at work , its very easy to become addicted to the clear mindset that occurs when you are training. Needless to say it also keeps me fit and trim! The club has a welcoming and family friendly atmosphere , with all people from all walks of life training along side each other , in a safe and respectable space. I’d encourage anyone looking to either learn some self defence , loose some excess weight , or just try a new hobbie to come for a taster class ! It genuinely changed my life and I’m sure it could yours ! See you on the mats.
Dan - Member since 2023 ...After a not-so-great experience at another gym, I was initially hesitant—but my first day at AMA completely changed that. I was paired with an experienced training partner who guided me through the warm-up and initial drills, and from that moment, I was hooked! The atmosphere at the club is incredibly welcoming, and Coach Savio is an outstanding instructor. The fitness benefits of Jiu Jitsu are also a huge bonus—there’s really nothing else like it when it comes to cardio. I highly encourage anyone who’s curious to come down and give it a try. Joining AMA has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Marie - Parent Member since 2024 I could not recommend this club highly enough, we drive a considerable distance so my son can attend. The instruction is excellent and the people are lovely, Jo and Savio are really nice people and very welcoming to beginners and new starters. The feel of the club is more like a family, the camaraderie is amazing and everyone is helpful, friendly and like-minded. This is an amazing sport for both the body and mind and a great club to do it!
