Koning Fighting Academy

"Moved here from another bjj club. Helton was very welcoming when I first enquired and invited me down for a free trial session and joined shortly after. Helton is a super nice dude and extremely knowledgeable. The atmosphere he's achieved is great and everybody down is just as nice and approachable! Best training decision I've ever made and intend on being with the club for the long haul!!"

"Koning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy is truly a special place for women. The community of female students and coaches is welcoming and inclusive, creating a positive and supportive environment for everyone. The coaching staff, led by main coach Helton, is top-notch and dedicated to helping each student achieve their goals, whether that be to become a competitive athlete or simply to stay fit and learn self-defense. The training program is well-rounded and tailored to the needs of each student, allowing them to progress at their own pace. One of the things that sets Koning apart is the emphasis on safety. The coaches are highly experienced and are constantly monitoring the training to ensure that everyone is practicing techniques correctly and safely. This is particularly important for those new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as it allows them to learn and progress without fear of injury. Another great thing about Koning is the team spirit and camaraderie among the students. The team mates are friendly and supportive, and there is a strong sense of community. This is evident in the regular team events and socials outside of training hours, which help to further strengthen the bonds between the members. As a woman, I would like to specially mention that Coach Helton is not only a great coach but also a wonderful person. He is extremely supportive and encourages his female students to strive for their best. He believes in the potential of his students, and works hard to help them achieve their goals. Overall, Koning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym is an excellent place to learn and practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The coaching, facilities, and community are all top-notch, making it a great choice for any woman looking to improve their skills and fitness. I highly recommend it!"

"Koning is a great place to train for people of all ages and levels. There is a wide variety of classes, for youngsters and adults across many aspects of martial arts. Helton is both a high level competitor and coach. This enables him to bring a different level of energy and understanding to his lessons. Koning has a very welcoming family feel to it. Ego is left at the door, everyone is collectively there to learn and grow. There is people coming out of this gym winning gold in respected weight divisions and belt, the good work being done is undeniable"

"I've been training with Koning fight academy just shy of a year. It was all new to me when I first started but immediately became a way of life. I joined for the fitness aspect and stayed for the comradery of the group, Helton as a coach, the disciplined mindset and most of all the smile on my face when I leave every single training session. I feel honoured to be apart of this academy and will see it through until my final days."
