I first met Dayman in 2008-09. We trained at the same gym in Strood. It was clear he had special abilities for all aspects of MMA. Now he teaches BJJ and has a Brown belt. He has amazing teaching ability and makes the details of technique personal and useful. I am 49 years old and I have been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with Dayman and his team for just over a year and a half now. I have the intention of training for many more years to come thanks to Dayman for making a fun place to train.

Best decision all year coming here- fantastic team who really push and support you. The level of coaching puts bigger gyms to shame, and the environment is welcoming and encouraging from day one. Membership is great value, but pay as you go is also available if you're unsure on your schedule- at £10 for a packed 90-min class it's very good value. If you're interested, then definitely turn up for a trial lesson- it's free!

Zilla has been a fantastic place for both me and my child to train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. From day one, the atmosphere has been welcoming, supportive, and incredibly well-run. The coaching is top quality, technical, clear, and always focused on progression regardless of your level. My child has grown so much in confidence and discipline through the kids' classes, and I've found the adult sessions equally rewarding. The sense of community here is second to none. If you're looking for a BJJ gym that's family-friendly, welcoming, and truly passionate about martial arts, Zilla Training is the place to be.
