Horizon Academy BJJ

Came here cause I'm at work based training in Exeter, straight off the bat this place is friendly and accommodating. Aki spoke to me like I was a old friend catching up, Zak the coach was treating me like I'm a long time student.

The place is clean, nice, friendly and the jujitsu is great. The rest of the students polite and no ego.

If you're in Exeter or passing through be sure to sign up. Absolute legends

Joined through the university society. The rest of the reviews will tell you all you need to know; coach Zak is truly excellent at what he does, Aki is a treasure, I would die for Zuko, and the students are helpful and friendly.
I made loads of progress there and enjoyed some of the happiest evenings of my life through those doors. Thanks guys!

Amazing club.

It has a really welcoming atmosphere and excellent teaching.

I started at horizon 2 months ago, I am 29 and had never done any grappling sports before joining. I had no cardio and was really out of shape. Everyone there took time to help and teach me.

The facilities are great and have everything you could want. Zak's teaching is awesome and perfect for people of all levels. Aki is also a great coach and has lots of superb advice for me as a beginner.

This is a very well run and club and I'm very glad I took a chance and joined. It's great fun and amazing for your general health and wellbeing.

Zuko is also amazing!

My son attends here and absolutely loves it. Aki and Zak are so welcoming, it has a great family feel to the place. Zak is an incredible teacher, he makes the class fun and teaches in such a way that it's easy for kids to pick up. It's great to see how my son's confidence has grown since joining.

The self defence classes for women that Horizon offer are brilliant. Zak & Aki are great trainers and go at a speed that is comfortable for all. Everyone in the class is friendly and approachable, it's a judge-free environment.
I'd thoroughly recommend Horizon.

Couldn't recommend this academy enough. Going back to martial arts after a prolonged break wasn't going to be easy but Coaches Zak and Aki made my return seamless. They care not only for their students BJJ skill, but also their wider fitness, physical health and mental wellbeing - which is not always the case with sports coaching. I can't thank them enough for making me feel welcome and cared for!

I have only been going to Horizon BJJ for about 2 weeks and i'm already loving it! Aki, Zak and the rest of the people who attend are all extremely welcoming and make it fun while also teaching the crucial skills of BJJ. For any beginner thinking of starting BJJ i can highly recommend Horizon.

Zak and Aki are the most wonderful teachers and people to learn from. Not only this, they are amazing people with rare personalities that energise you and gift you with a smile and laugh after that frustrating day at work. Diamonds in the rough. Their teaching is thorough, precise and creates consistent results.

Horizon is a welcoming place, everyone is extremely friendly and allows you to go at the pace you'd like to go. It's like a new family, except you're all allowed to fight with one another. And it's great!

I will be defintely coming back for as long as I remain in Exeter and will love to grow alongside them, both BJJ-wise and age wise!

Bonus benefits! - Cuddles with their gorgeous border collie, Zuko.

It's a win-win really 🤷‍♂️
