Started doing Gracie with Fran at Eclipse Wolverhampton under recommendation of a friend. I was warmly welcomed into a good sized class in a professional way. I was treated well and fairly from the beginning with a good integration into the regular classes after an introduction. The lessons and programs are very well structured around each move and the reviews are helpful also; Fran's instruction and examples of each move are thorough and professional and integrates real life situations very well, he also comes round and joins in on a 1 on 1 basis which is very helpful. The price for membership is more than reasonable with a Gi included and all the times of lessons suit me (working 9-5). Also gender and age is not a problem with Eclipse, which is not seen everywhere. I can't wait to continue with my training. Would fully recommend this place to anyone.

Joined September 2014, was a bit daunting to step inside as is with any martial arts club. But all the staff were very welcoming, there was no "sizing up" against the new guy from any of the other students either. Sensei Fran especially was very welcoming to me as a new student and gave me all the information I needed to know without being asked to do so. The structure of Gracie Jiu Jitsu is excellent, classes are on at convenient times throughout the week and combined with the online tools on Gracie University makes this perfect for any individual. Having looked around at other clubs and what they offer, no other has come close to Eclipse and that goes for the course's applicability in real life situations, progression ,price and overall enjoyment. As the name shows this is directly affiliated to the Gracie Family who pioneered this Art, so rest assured you will be taught by a worthy sensei who has had to earn the right from the source.
