Fantastic experience: Joined my two kids (9 & 12) recently who have had such a positive experience. They love the classes, have made new friends, gained confidence and the professor is a very talented teacher who is patient with the kids, and keeps them highly engaged. We’ve seen a positive change in our boys behaviour and their fitness has improved. It’s a family friendly gym, who support and encourage others in a safe, no ego environment. As a female adult (40+) completely new to martial arts, I’ve found a love for a new sport and felt safe to give it a go and learn. Our friends and family comment how well the club is run, and the positive experience this has given our kids. BJJ is a skill my kids will have for life and We are all thrilled with our progress and recommend Grappling Lab Howick to any one considering this sport. You won’t regret giving it a go. They have a range of classes to suit different ages and stages. Thank you professor Hasan and Heba, you are encouraging and talented teachers,

Fantastic experience: I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent Jiu-Jitsu program my son has been attending for the past month. As a complete beginner, he has thoroughly enjoyed every session and his enthusiasm for the sport continues to grow. It is remarkable to witness the positive impact the training has had on his self-confidence. He is visibly more assertive and focused, which is a testament to the supportive and encouraging environment you have created. The professional and dedicated coaching staff has made a significant difference in his progress. Their expertise and patience are evident in every class. Thank you for providing such a fantastic opportunity for young people to develop their skills and character through Jiu-Jitsu. We are truly impressed and look forward to continuing our son’s journey with your club. thank you Hasan ☺️

Fantastic experience: Great way for teenage boys to expend all that extra energy in a positive supervised environment!

Fantastic experience: Really great place and culture to learn BJJ. There is a high level of BJJ and at comps lots of gold medalists from this gym

Fantastic experience: Just started but the coach is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He spends time with people one on one to make sure they understand the technique correctly. The class schedule/times are great for training straight after work and members are chill/helpful. Also very fairly priced (especially compared to other gyms).

Fantastic experience: As a woman who has never done sports, trying BJJ was scary and overwhelming, but Hasan and the rest of the team made things easier for me. They have an amazing gym culture where everyone is supportive, patient and understanding. Along with my husband and son, Grappling Lab Howick made us fall in love with BJJ!

Fantastic experience: My two kids have been training at Grappling-Lab for the last 3 years. I really appreciate the friendly and family oriented atmosphere of the club. Would recommand anyone to give it a go.

Fantastic experience: Great club for all levels, I've seen my two young boys grow in confidence so much! I'm pretty sure it's helped them in a wide range of aspects and teaches them what consistent hard work can achieve.

Fantastic experience: Awesome BJJ Club. My son has been with the club coming to 2 years and he's loved it. It's such a nice family friendly environment for the students to learn Martial Arts. Have just started BJJ myself with the Adults class and loving the warm welcoming group and community. Feels safe to practice and learn with higher grade belt students as they all look after you and take you though things at your own pace. Reflects the values and passion that Professor Hasan has for BJJ and the club's members

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this club for both kids and adult BJJ classes. Coming from a martial arts background I looked around different establishments before settling on grappling-lab and Professor Hasan's gym. The environment is welcoming, the instructions to the kids are top notch (and it shows in their competition results). The adult classes are well structured and you feel safe rolling with much much higher grade guys as a newbie. There are no egos in this club, just a desire to learn and to teach from the team. All martial arts gym should be like this one!

Fantastic experience: 11/10 highly recommend! Especially good for a fresh out the gate newbie like me. Hasan is super knowledgeable but at the same time very approachable and funny :) HARD training in CHILL vibes. Also let me tell you about ♡HEBA♡ who takes extra care of the ladies. I have found it is so valuable to have a super strong super knowledgeable woman to learn from in a male dominated sport! This is the place to be if you're a girl trying to enter the sport. Lots of opportunities to roll with higher belts including Hasan and Heba. Come for a visit and you'll see what I mean!

Fantastic experience: I had tried several jiujitsu gyms on trial, but after feeling disappointed, I was ready to give up this amazing exercise. By chance, I discovered this place. It's like a family and a place brimming with love. I drive here for an hour, and it's worth it. It's a place where coaches and team members can exercise while respecting each other.

Fantastic experience: My children met the best teacher He is very good at Jiu-Jitsu, and he always teaches children at the children's level. My kids are lucky to meet the teacher here If you want to learn Jiu-Jitsu, I highly recommend this school.

Fantastic experience: The best Bjj instructions. Super technical, professional master with grappling knowledge that’s not just theoretical but practical. I also love how wrestling & bjj blended together to strengthen your fighting control. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Hassan for a couple of months while I was living in Auckland, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and the team. Hassan is a very attentive and thoughtful instructor who gives special attention to everyone in the class and their needs. He explains things very carefully and is very inviting of questions or thoughts people have. Hassan's style of jiu jitsu is built on solid fundamentals which just work. He also has great standup and wrestling which he incorporates into many of his classes. Everyone who trains there as an adult is a thoroughly decent person, and the kids team is growing quickly which is great to see. It may be a smaller club, but that is the beauty of it. You get lots of quality instruction time from a black belt, which can be hard to come by. The classes are well structured and Hassan is sure to spend several classes on one position, teaching a few techniques from there, and puts a lot of focus on situational sparring, which really means you come away with the techniques truly drilled into your mind. The club is extremely beginner friendly and has a super welcoming and inclusive family environment. It's a wonderful place to learn and have fun while you're doing it. On top of all of this, it's extremely reasonably priced, which to me just demonstrates the club's focus on the love of the sport and the art rather than making money for the sake of it. Don't hesitate to join!

Fantastic experience: A Great BJJ Club, Hasan is a very knowledgeable coach who approaches training from the foundation building block techniques and then builds on them. I found that he related to well to everyone who came to train and has a great and obvious passion for the art. Respect is the club motto and respect was always shown.
