Aaron has been an exceptional jiu-jitsu instructor and mentor for my eight-year-old son. He is highly professional while also being incredibly gentle and patient with young children. Aaron has a wonderful way of explaining techniques clearly so kids can understand and feel confident trying them. His calm and encouraging approach creates a supportive environment where children feel comfortable learning and challenging themselves.

What truly stands out is the extra care and attention he gives to every child. He is very thorough in his teaching and takes the time to make sure each student understands the fundamentals properly. Aaron is not only teaching jiu-jitsu, but also helping build confidence, discipline, and respect. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the children he teaches, and he has been a fantastic mentor and role model for my son.
Keep up the good work! -:)

I have known Aaron for many years, as my son began training with him when he was just 6 years old, and he’s now 13, so Aaron has been a consistent presence throughout a very important part of his life. Over the years, their relationship grew far beyond that of a simple tutor-student relationship. Aaron genuinely took the time to understand him as a person, building trust, confidence and mutual respect. What I appreciate most about Aaron’s teaching is his ability to combine strong technical knowledge with an exceptional understanding of his students. He is extremely competent and structured in his teaching of jiu-jitsu and kickboxing, and my son has made very tangible progress thanks to his guidance. At the same time, Aaron adapts his approach to each student’s personality and age. During my son’s more challenging teenage years, Aaron was very supportive, emotionally and physically. He helpeHe built discipline, resilience and self-confidence in a very natural and encouraging way. One of the things that stands out most is the consistency of Aaron’s commitment. Whether during regular training sessions, competitions, or moments when motivation was harder to maintain, he was always present and encouraging. My son always felt supported, and that made a huge difference in his development both as an athlete and as a young person. I would strongly recommend Aaron to any student or parent looking for a tutor. He is not only highly skilled and professional, but also deeply invested in the personal development of the people he teaches. His impact goes far beyond the sport itself, and we feel very fortunate to have had him guiding my son for so many years.

I can’t recommend Aaron highly enough as an MMA teacher. My son has been training with him for the past four years and still looks forward to his sessions every single week. The training is tough, but Aaron has a brilliant way of making it fun and engaging for the kids.
Over the years my son has learned so many skills, not just in MMA techniques but also in discipline, confidence, and respect. Aaron clearly cares about the kids he teaches and puts a lot of time and energy into making every session enjoyable while still pushing them to do their best.
We’re really grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my son and would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a fantastic MMA coach.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with him as a coach. He’s incredibly dedicated to ensuring I get the perfect stance and technique, every single detail matters to him. He’s not just a great teacher in jiu-jitsu and kickboxing, but he’s also deeply caring, always pushing me to improve and making me feel welcome from day one. He’s also super consistent and goes above and beyond to accommodate any needs, whether that’s traveling to me or inviting me to his space. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to grow in their martial arts journey!

Getting Aaron in to train our son was the best decision we have made . Not only has it lifted his self esteem and confidence but his school work has improved as well. He's stronger and leaner and has more body awareness . Whether it's kick boxing or jiu jitsu I would highly recommend Aaron as he mentors them in the session to and caters for all ages .

Coach Aaron has been an incredible MMA coach for my son. He’s extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to his craft. It’s clear that he puts a lot of thought and care into how he teaches—always making sure that my son not only learns the right techniques but also builds confidence along the way.

My son absolutely loves training with him and never wants to miss a private session.

We’re very grateful to have found him—couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Aaron is absolutely fantastic with my boys (aged 9 and 11). His patience, energy and enthusiasm make every class fun while still teaching them valuable skills. He knows how to motivate his students, making sure they learn correct techniques in a safe and secure environment.
My boys have gained so much confidence, discipline and motivation since starting with Aaron and are always so excited for his next lesson. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone wanting to get themselves or their children into martial arts!

I am 12 years old (as at 24/3/2025) and I have been training both Brazilian Jujitsu and kickboxing for one year with Aaron and now we are adding in gym days. To me his the perfect fitness role model anyone no matter the age can aspire to be like. He is kind and compassionate yet always drives you to your physical limit. His martial art ability is already top-notch and is still rapidly getting better. He is always welcoming to any new students he coaches and will make sure you can also become a great physically strong human being. Ever since I have started training with him it has made me feel more comfortable and calm around bigger people. I feel like a different person every time I walk out of training. He makes training feel like this exciting bubbly time during my week. I do wish it never ends sometimes. I really is that good!!

Aaron is an exceptional coach. He's just a really decent guy and fun to train with. Top qualities include, experience, expertise, humility, professionalism, style and skill. Highly recommend booking in with him now before all his slots go. I've booked 4 sessions per week and hope to increase these in time.

When I first started training with Aaron, I was 40 — carrying old injuries and a fair amount of uncertainty. I didn’t know how far I could push myself, or whether I’d even be able to train consistently. But from the very beginning, Aaron met me exactly where I was — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

He took the time to understand my injuries and limitations, and built a plan around them. We worked gradually, always staying within my zone of tolerability, and over time, that zone expanded. I became stronger, more mobile, and more confident. Aaron never rushed the process, but he always kept me moving forward — patiently, consistently, and with real care.

These days, I train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 🏽 and do personal training with Aaron twice a week, and I train kickboxing and strength with my son once a week. Those sessions with my son are a highlight of our week — and Aaron’s presence makes them even more special. His energy is infectious, his coaching is generous, and his ability to adapt in real time is exceptional.

Even when we roll — and from my perspective, we roll pretty hard — Aaron is incredibly careful and respectful. He always minimises the risk of injury, and I feel genuinely fortunate to be working with someone so kind and considerate. He’s not in it to show off or dominate — he’s there to help me grow, to be my best, and to enjoy the journey. That level of humility and generosity in a coach is rare.

Aaron comes from a really good family, and you can feel that wholesome, grounded vibe in the way he teaches and trains. He continues to train with both his father and his brother in Jiu-Jitsu 🏽 and kickboxing . His father, who trained in MMA for many years, has clearly passed down solid, foundational principles of how to train like a true martial artist — with discipline, humility, and curiosity. And what’s especially inspiring is that Aaron doesn’t pretend to know it all, even though he’s highly skilled and accomplished. He’s still growing, still learning. He often asks his dad’s opinion during sessions, and sometimes shares those insights with us — which adds real depth to the learning experience.

He also regularly teaches children’s classes in Jiu-Jitsu at N12 Academy in North Finchley — a world-class training facility — and the children absolutely love him. That’s one of the things that makes Aaron such a fantastic coach: he relates to people of all ages and communicates effectively with every one of them. That ability to connect — to really see people, wherever they’re at — is a truly rare skill. It makes him more personable, more approachable, and just really likeable. And the fact that he can teach children something as technical as Jiu-Jitsu so effectively is incredibly impressive. It speaks volumes about his understanding of the art — and his ability to pass it on clearly and meaningfully. That’s why I think he’s such a great coach, not just for adults, but for children too.

Aaron’s example has inspired me to train martial arts with my own son ‍— and to start building that kind of brotherly bond that forms through training together. There’s a depth and trust that grows between people on the mats, and it’s a gift to experience that with my son, just like Aaron does with his own family.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Aaron to family and friends. He delivers an exceptionally good training experience and I am sure you will benefit greatly.
