I started my bjj journey with Dean way back in 2019. Everyone there has been super friendly and supportive. There’s no egos on the mats which is great. Deans teaching style is fantastic, really breaks down the moves to help you understand. The easy going and laid back atmosphere makes each class a joy to attend. If you’re looking for a sign to start BJJ, this is it!
Started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Grand Union Eastbourne over two and a half years ago and I still go there 3 times a week with the same enthusiasm. That is because of the amazing team: prof Dean, the coaches, the practitioners… A great community! BJJ affected my life in the most amazing ways.
Such a great environment to learn jiu jitsu. Coach Dean is thorough and attentive during class, he gives clear, step by step explanations always asking if anybody has questions or if anything needs to be demonstrated again. Perfect for beginners or if you already train. Everybody who trains there is helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend coming along and trying it out.
The Eastbourne team is located in the UK’s sunniest place! Feel the energy of endless blue skies, sweeping South Downs countryside, colourful art scene and warm sunshine while you learn and practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) at the premier school in East Sussex
