Vanuit mijn achtergrond als sportfysiotherapeut en BJJ beoefenaar het volgende over de trainingen bij BJJ Leiden : De opbouw en inhoud van de trainingen zijn altijd top en de didactische en methodische vaardigheid van de leraren zijn van de buitencategorie. Ik kan een ieder die BJJ wil gaan beoefenen in de regio Leiden aanraden om bij BJJ Leiden te gaan trainen! Voor degenen die er al trainen : prijs jezelf gelukkig !

Visited this gym on two separate occasions as I was in town on business. Knowledgable, caring instructors and everyone was very friendly. Would certainly love to visit again, highly recommended!

I've been training here for over 2.5 years now. Good instructors, solid old school Jiu Jitsu that respects it's Vale Tudo roots, nice and relaxed group of students with a serious training attitude.

Great place for BJJ in Leiden. Been training here for over 6 years now and still enjoy it every time. Awesome instructors and good atmosphere in the group. Highly recommend to drop by when you get the chance!

Great instructors, very welcoming and knowledgeable. Also a very nice group of people to train with, very relaxed atmosphere.

I recently attended BJJ Leiden's first women's self-defense workshop and it was super. I was a bit nervous as a novice with no upper body strength but the teaching style was excellent - really encouraging and easy to understand. Every move was broken down and applied to potential real-life scenarios. It was a great experience and confidence boost and left me wanting more. I would definitely recommend BJJ Leiden to all genders, sizes, strengths and abilities!

Ik heb bij BJJ Leiden een zelfverdedigingscursus voor vrouwen gevolgd. Het was een hele leuke interactieve les. De cursus ging niet over hoe je door het gebruik van geweld je tegenstander te lijf gaat, maar juist hoe je vanuit je eigen kracht jezelf kan verdedigen tegen iemand die misschien veel sterker is. De oefeningen werden voorgedaan, waarna we zelf verder konden oefenen met een begeleider. Ook gaf trainer Russ duidelijk uitleg over de JiuJitsu filosofie waarop de training gebaseerd is.

I did the ladies self-defence course at BJJ Leiden from April till July 2019 (one lesson per week plus practice on Sundays). Apart from the fact that it opened a whole new world for me (I joined the BJJ classes only a few weeks into the course), it changed my approach to self-defence. I understood that technique overcomes strength and that simple details are essential in a situation in which if someone were to harm me, chances are that person will be bigger and physically stronger than me. So it is not about kicking someone’s ass, but about escaping a situation in which normally the odds are in the attacker’s favour. I know practice makes perfect, but the teaching style is invaluable – with the memorable practical examples and the poetic delivery of the techniques, I still remember what to do in various hypothetical threatening situations even months after the course, without having practiced those one hundred times. Most fun I’ve had in a long time out of my comfort zone, learning something completely new. Thank you, Russ, I could hardly imagine someone else more dedicated and suitable for teaching this than you! Thank you, Thom, for assisting Russ and sorry about the countless times we chocked you!
