TESTIMONALS

My daughter has been attending free JuiJitsu sessions with the Positive Pathways Project for about 2 months now and she is loving it. The coaches are extremely passionate and encouraging to any and all who attend their sessions, regardless of their level.
My daughter is 7 and started as a complete beginner. She knew nothing about JuiJitsu, was welcomed with open arms and has never looked back since. She was entered into her first competition just a few weeks in and won a silver and bronze medal that she is extremely proud of. Her confidence in the sport has skyrocketed from day one to now and is increasing every day thanks to Simon,  and all involved at Positive Pathways.

Thank you to the team for providing opportunities for all ages through JuiJitsu and thank you to Woolwich Common Community Centre for providing a safe space in the community for all to attend

Absolutely amazing project to be involved in and see grow! Nothing helps young kids & adults more than finding something to regulate their emotions and make there brain work in more way than one. Credit to si and the team for making this happen. It wouldn't work without him and the sky is the limit!

Simon and the gang are doing great stuff down here really helping the kids my boy loves it and so do his friends keeps them out of trouble thanks again guys your hard work doesn’t go unappreciated

Brilliant!! Everything about it is just brilliant!! Amazing idea, world class teaching , friendly and caring atmosphere!! Don’t have enough words to say how much I feel about them!!

My two youngest train here, and I see their confidence grow. Simon, the trainer, is so passionate and knowledge knowledgeable about what he does. We do love it here. It's like one big family. Well done to everybody involved

Amazing place teaching great jujitsu, the teachers are next level, allowing my kids to all win gold medals in competitions after training a few short months!!

I trained at Positive Pathways CIC last year and had a really good experience. The coaches are friendly, supportive and make everyone feel welcome, no matter their ability. It’s a great place to learn BJJ, improve your confidence and meet new people. I would definitely recommend it
