What Our Members Say

Debrah
"I have dropped into Gringo as a visitor a few times now and Ryan is always very welcoming! Ryan is very knowledgeable and fun to train with. Great vibes in general at Gringo and with everyone else who trains here too."

Jenny
"Ryan has been my coach for years. He is incredibly knowledgeable and the perfect balance of professional and fun. Jiu Jitsu can be hard for women, but Ryan created a warm and comfortable environment for my friends and I to learn, ask questions and practice technique. He would always look out for us, making sure we're training with the right people and keeping us safe. Not only a great coach but an even better friend who has my back. If there's one person everyone should train with at least once, it's Ryan. He can hype you up and humble you all in the same roll, making sure you leave as a better competitor than you came 💪"

Jordan
"An incredibly welcoming space, community and coach! I have been training jujitsu for 4 years and made the decision to leave my old gym. Whilst it was scary it was a much needed change and was so grateful to be welcomed into such a safe space! Ryan is an incredible coach and takes the time to explain techniques as many times needed and is focused on helping you along your journey! There are no gym politics here and it is a great space for women and men to train and have fun at jujitsu!"

Kirsty 
"Ryan has brought pure gold to our community opening up this gym for us all to attend. His approach to teaching is incredible for our neuro diverse child. Ryan it calm yet firm when necessary for our child to get the most out of each session. We love Gringo and are so grateful for the new family style gym for anyone and everyone to join. Super disappointed to read the false reviews below on Google as a smear campaign of an honest and genuine human wanting to give all people of all ages a place to come to help with focus, mental health and overall well being - some of the fruitful gifts that jiu jitsu offers."

Conrad
"I've known Ryan since I began my jujitsu journey about 6 years ang where he was a coach at another gym. His knowledge and application of jujitsu is of the highest quality. I've learnt things from him as a white belt that I still use today. Would highly recommend learning from him. He's great teacher."

Jessica
"Gringo Jiu Jitsu, led by Coach Ryan is exceptional. The environment that Ryan has created is safe, welcoming and is accessible for all experience levels.My family has personally trained under Ryan for a number of years and his dedication to his students is undeniable. Our son is all the more confident, skilled and knowledgeable because of the time and energy Ryan has put into him - and as a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful for the safe environment he has fostered for our son. If you’re looking for a gym and a coach that is respectful, positive and has no ego - look no further than Gringo! Highly recommend."
