Muy agradecida con este gimnasio. Vine en mis vacaciones de verano. La gente es increíble, todos muy buenas personas, y el ambiente de entrenamiento es motivador y acogedor. Gracias a este lugar he podido mejorar varias técnicas y pulir detalles de mi jiujitsu. No se puede pedir más de un gimnasio. ¡Gracias Patrick, volveré seguro! 😌Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. La mejor academia, equipo excelentePosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice club, the owner and coach is friendly and it’s a nice atmosphere, but a bit too compet ,it’s a small club but in Europen they always come home with gold medals As well they have Krav Maga and kickboxing but BJJ is main menu With no doubt it’s the best club around, no soft training here Shower and changing room is clean but not to bigPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited the club while on holiday from England , and received a warm welcome from Patrick and Jennifer. Had a fantastic session this morning - so fortunate to have found such an amazing level of coaching by Patrick and roll with such a friendly group of people. Thank you very, very much! It made my holiday 🤩Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Muy buena atención🙌🙌Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Curso bienPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dices que nunca me visteis por la academia. Pero estuve dos dias y ahora tengo que operarme por una lesion que me hice alli. El primer dia fui para probar bjj y otro para para probar krav maga. El dia que practique bjj no pudo ir el profesor y no me avisaste ni a mi ni a ninguno de los alumnos, asi que un alumno de rango bajo tuvo que dar la clase. El segundo dia fue peor. Me lesione la rodilla y al profesor le dio igual. Dijo que podia caminar perfectamente y que me fuera a casa y me pusiera hielo. Ahora estoy esperando cirugía porque tengo el cruzado ROTO. Es mas, una de las personas que lleva el WhatsApp me pregunto a mi numero personal y al decirle que estaba lesionado (en ese momento pense que era solo un esguice) solo dijo que esperaba verme pronto. Asi que nada de fake fake fake que me queda mas de medio año sin poder hacer ningun deporte y ni si quiera os habeis dignado a preguntar como estoy. Porque mi telefono lo teneis.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best 🙌Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was really happy to join a class while visiting family in Marbella. Patrick was very kind and opened his dojo to me, a visiting judoka from Denmark. Had a blast. The professionalism, strength and spirit of the club left a strong impression … maybe time to switch to Jiu Jitsu ?!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
