Since the first day I’ve felt very welcomed by Nick and the team, he’s is very technical and specific within his teachings which helps me to be more accurate with my movements, he’s also very helpful when you need assistance with things. I personally recommend Nick and the academy as he’s a great teacher and I have enjoyed all my lessons with him.
Great Jiu Jitsu classes - mixed abilities, friendly and competetive atmosphere. Would recommend.
Recently started going to Muay Thai classes here. Have tried other gyms before but Nick’s setup is by far the best I’ve come across. Great for beginners, with a friendly environment and a big focus on technique
Since joining Forrer Martial Arts, my Jiu-Jitsu has improved immensely. Nick’s teaching style is clear, patient, and easy to follow. The gym has a great sense of camaraderie—welcoming and supportive without the cliquey vibe I’ve experienced elsewhere. Whether you're new or experienced i highly recommend it here.
Great place to start BJJ. The coaches are patient, skilled, and really focus on the details that matter. The environment is beginner-friendly, with a strong emphasis on safety, fundamentals, and steady progress. Perfect for anyone new to the sport.
