Outstanding BJJ club. Highly professional, detailed and structured learning environment for BJJ, fitness and self defence. I've studied various martial arts under many instructors over the years but the Toukon Academy is the only full time, fully professional club I've trained with and it shows in the high quality and structured approach to student development. Would highly recommend for BJJ, fitness, meeting great people, mindset, increasing resilience and general awesomeness.

I enrolled in the four week course at Tōukon back in May and I was delighted with it. I was nervous as a female entering the sport but everyone was very welcoming and David is an excellent and patient teacher, ensuring everyone is comfortable. Having taken a brief break, I've rejoined as a full member and was welcomed back with open arms. There are no egos in BJJ and the atmosphere at Tōukon is amazing and encouraging and you learn something new every week that progresses from the previous session, without being overwhelming. Cannot recommend Tōukon enough!
As a complete beginner to any sort of martial arts I enrolled on the 4 week beginners course that the academy runs. I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. Everyone at Toukon is friendly and welcoming this made me feel right at home from the start. David is a great teacher that understands how to present and teach the different techniques to everyone in his class all with varied abilities and experiences.
I started my Jiu Jitsu journey on 03/09/19 and thanks to David's excellent coaching, and the real community spirit in the academy, I have enjoyed the entire experience so far. You will find out quickly if this sport is for you or not, but if you are unsure there is definitely no harm in trying - for me the standard cliché fits - if only I had started sooner.
This is a top class club. I have done plenty of sport, some at semi professional level, but this is my first foray into any sort of combat sport. At every session people focus on getting better and enjoyment and as someone new there has been no ego at any point. In fact I have been blown away by how regularly more experienced players forgo potential training opportunities for themselves to encourage and assist me as a new player. Dave and his colleagues demonstrate the core culture of this club authentically and it is no surprise I haven encountered friendliness focus and a complete lack of the standard sports BS and ego no matter who I roll with or talk to. My wife, my son and I have all benefitted a huge amount and I am proud to associate with the Toukon academy.
Our 2 sons aged 4 & 7 joined Toukon Academy at the start of this year. We have never regretted the decision. Our 4 year old is ridiculously shy & nervous. It has been amazing to watch how he has come out of his shell over the last 6 months, & how his confidence has grown. David’s a brilliant instructor, & our kids adore him. David has unbelievable levels of patience with the kids, plus gets the correct balance between banter & discipline. The BJJ is great fitness for the kids. Our 4 year old can now do 10 press ups, which still impresses us. What both our children have learnt in such a short space of time is brilliant. With ease we can recommend Toukon Academy
