Total Body Defence Ju Jitsu

My daughter began training with the Risca club in June and she is thoroughly enjoying it! There is a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and the club is extremely well run and organised, with good communication. She receives continued support from the club members and is progressing so well as a result. I would definitely recommend this club to anybody considering taking a self-defence class.

Enjoy training and insights for activity. Excellent CV activity and helps me feel positive about my learning and accomplishment.

Recently joined. At 69 I thought I may be too much, but not so. Thourally enjoying it.

Really enjoy training in TBD, very friendly club with well structured classes and you can choose from loads of classes around south wales.

Having trained with various clubs over the years I can safely say training with Total body defence has been the most influential, the knowledge and experience of the instructors is second to none. If your are looking for a very friendly and welcoming club and great value for money then you wont go far wrong, well structured and well organised.

I started with Abertillery TBD in November 2015, the class is very professionally run, and the instructors have years of experience. There is always a great atmosphere every time there is a class. I'm looking foward to learning more and pushing on with the gradings, I would recommend this class to anyone as it's designed for everyone.

I have been training for just under a year and train at the Cardiff club but try to get to the Risca club as often as possible. What can I say practical, functional and delivered in an ego free enviroment. I have never had a bad lesson or been taught in an other that excellent and informative manner. Wether you have a martial arts background are looking to begin training in Martial Arts or simply looking to improve your fitness and confidence this will deliver it all in a freindly and ego free package.

TBD has built my confidence 100% and it is a great form of self defence.

TBD takes a traditional martial art and makes it applicable to the modern day. As a new starter at the Risca club I have felt welcome and at ease with the training environment which is both professional and safe. I've been impressed with the adult sessions to the point that I will be enrolling both of my children in the junior classes. I wish I'd started sooner!

An excellent class, taken by a very knowledgeable instructor who explains everything very well (even to a complete novice! ).

I have trained at Abertillery for the last year and really enjoy it also go to pontypool when I can. Tbd is a great way to keep fit and learn self defence.

Very well run Classes with high level of tuition, loved the training from day 1!

Joining this club is one of the best decisions I have ever made. All the trainers I have had the pleasure of training with so far have been very welcoming and patient. If you want to learn how to defend yourself in a relaxed no ego environment then look no further this club is amazing.

Both of my children (14yr boy and 10yr girl) attend Total Body Defence Ju Jitsu and have done so for nearly 2 years. They both have benefitted enormously, in not only gaining self defence knowledge but in general confidence and self esteem. The staff running the classes are exceptionally dedicated, friendly and approachable. I have even started myself and would advise anyone. Child or parent, to do the same.

My daughter is now in her third year at the Pontypool class and still loves every single minute of it. The tuition from Mark is fantastic and along with the support and help from the others in the class it makes for a family atmosphere. Can't recommend this club enough …. Go along and try it, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Excellent class great instructor! Would recommend a*.

I joined TBD around 3 months ago and I am really enjoying it. Due to work and family commitments I can't always get to the Risca session but there are multiple other clubs I can train at for no extra cost. That flexibility really suits me. I have also met a great bunch of people.

Just completed my first grading at the TBD Cardiff venue, what a brilliant feeling getting my first belt. I played rugby for 30 years and this was up there with any experience I had in all those years.

We have only just started with the Risca club, and we are loving it. Already we feel like we are part of the TBD family :) The instruction is really clear and Alun has so much patience with us. Really happy we joined. The Lisa's.

The service and level of expertise shown by the instructors is second to none.
