Osprey Martial Arts

★★★★★

“I joined Osprey over a year ago and only wish I had started sooner. Jiu jitsu is hugely positive both mentally and physically, the problem solving distracts from the fact it’s a workout (perfect for those like me with a strong dislike for cardio). The teaching is top notch. Dav explains techniques in an easily understandable way and help is always available. From what I’ve learnt here I’ve been able to train at other gyms around the world and not feel out of my depth. Dav has also built a safe environment with a great community beyond being on the mats. There is a great mix of levels, styles and sizes of people to train with. There is also zero pressure to compete if that’s not your style. Don’t make my mistake in waiting ages to start, trim those nails and come along for a trial class to see for yourself 😊”

“I’ve come out of town, travelled from London for the day for work and was very nervous about finding a gym to roll at. David is one of the kindest coaches I’ve met. Him the and teams at Osprey are super friendly and welcoming. Don’t let there niceness fool you though, they are all absolute killers on the mat when rolling. Great technique, speed and sharpness when executing moves and it makes sense with the way David breaks down each position in such details. The sequences shown were brilliant. I would highly highly recommend this gym to train at”

“I agree with 2023 Mike's comments above, and would just add that the club is now at Loanhead / Straiton in its own dedicated facilities, so there are more classes on offer now - gi and no-gi jiu jitsu, striking, kids classes. I've definitely got the bug now and highly recommend the club. There's a good mix of experience levels, ages, men and women, big and small - everyone is made to feel very welcome. - 2024 Mike”
