A fantastic BJJ coach with a true passion for the sport coupled with some high level, technical knowledge. Excellent, detailed instruction and a friendly face at every class.
Al was my rugby physio at Withycombe rugby club for a couple of seasons. His knowledge surrounding conditioning training and also the rehab side was impeccable. The team appreciated having him pitch side to deal with our knocks in the pitch.
Al has always been a superb coach. Very informative and accommodating, he creates and sustains a terrific learning environment for all levels. Always a pleasure!
I’ve been in a lot of als classes over the year and with everyone I have come away with a clear understanding of the technique taught. Al is a fantastic teacher whose enthusiasm is infectious.
Al is a brilliant instructor, his in-depth knowledge is clear from day one. Sessions are always FF in and informative. The gym has a very welcoming atmosphere, all in all a great place to train.
As an aging Royal Marine Veteran - I knew it was a big ask for Al to keep me on the pitch for 80 minutes! Luckily with his experience he taped me up, warmed me up and often dealt with soft issue injuries and cuts to enable me to continue to play. Thank you Al 👍
