LFF is bloody amazing !! (Especially the BJJ classes) I’ve been training at LFF for around 8 months now and can honestly say it’s one of the best decision I’ve made. Prior to joining I wasn’t in the greatest space (I won’t bore you with the detail) but being apart of the LFF community and beginners BJJ classes has had such a positive impact on my life.It may feel daunting at first but once you start training you’ll start to meet new people and feel more and more apart of the team.

Tried a few places with their free trial lessons before going to the London Fight Factory to try their beginner Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. In truth they weren’t on my short list but I decided to try it as my options were limited (within 30 mins from work). Tried the first lesson and was completely out of breath but now that I have continued training I am enjoying it more and more! I chose it because it had the right ‘culture’ for me.Luiz is full of heart when he coaches people. It’s not about vanity when Luiz coaches you. He is trying to develop the team together, no one grows on their own, we all develop together. Right culture, family atmosphere and plenty of training space: what more could you ask for!?Come for a trial lesson in BJJ. No regrets! More...

LFF is awesome. The club has had profound impact on my life on many levels. There is a such a diverse array of members, all with a positive mindset. The moment I walk in, the support from the team allows me to not just to become a better version of myself, but to exceed my own expectations. Plus I've made some really cool friends. Training here is f*****g incredible. More...

I’ve been training jiu jitsu for about 4 years now at 4 different gyms (I’ve moved a lot) with two of those years at LFF. LFF is by far the best gym I have ever encountered . This gym has truly changed me and has grown to become my family away from home. Not only has my jiu jitsu improved but who I am as a person has as well. Luiz is tough but you know that he wants the best for his students. He wants their skills to improve and he wants them to find their true potential. LFF will always have a special place in my heart.

Been training at London Fight Factory for a little over a month now in the beginners BJJ classes, two to three times a week. Having done a few weeks training at a different gym out of town, ive been so impressed with the quality of teaching, patience and overall great community of good, hard working guys and girls that train here.It's a no ego environment of people that want to learn and improve every day.Yeah for the first few weeks the warm ups suuck but you get used to it and get in killer shape.And yes, you'll probably get told off if you walk off the mats without footwear, it's for the benefit of everyone and a reason why the gym is so clean Cheers!

I am training BJJ in the club for almost a year. One of the best things are the members. Everyone is friendly, humbled and we all have the same goal - to learn. But that will never come without the proper management. Saying that when I started the beginners class I found them quite challenging as I was out of any physical training for years. Everyone helped. Now looking back I am glad and thankful I was pushed beyond my limits each time. It prepared me for the rolls and helped me get through some drills I wouldn’t be able to do otherwise, as also preventing injuries. It really made me aware what my abilities are and areas of fitness improvements (all :)). All along the you learn top class jiu jitsu. So if you go for that class, just give it a go, don’t give up and in couple of months you will be grateful. The other best thing are the coaches. I have never ever seen in even one occasion someone to ask for the drill/move to be explained again and again or whatever and to be refused. The explanation is very well detailed and is at least 3-4 times shown so we can get it. It also varie on tehniques and new ways of learning. In the advances/intermediate classes there are rolls at the end or you can stay after class to drill. There is the stick and the carrot of course, and in fact both pushed me to do just a little bit more each time and to improve. The head instructor Luiz is there everytime teaching himself the classes and there are always his assistants as well to help. There are also many other classes you can attend, so it is really great value. Facilities are the cleanest I ever been to. The bathroom, the toilets, the gym area. The mat is new and always very clean. No dust, no hairs. I understand some of the frustration of people when they get told of for steping barefoot outside, but there is much more to it. We are all there because we wanted to try and or love and are hooked to the sport. I don’t want to lose a single day I am able to train, because I got a skin or other disease. Even if there is a slim chance for that I am glad that there is someone to take care and protect us and someone who never takes chance to compromise on cleanness and wellbeing of the students. Don’t forget Every part of the body is on that mat. No one want to walk into a gym and found out that his teammates are missing because of spread skin problems. So don’t get offended and follow the simple rules to protect yourself and others. More...

Not going to lie, I was nervous the first time I came here. I had never trained martial arts before and didn’t know what to expect. I almost turned around halfway down the stairs and left. I’m very glad I didn’t. What did I find? A professional training environment run to high standards, with welcoming coaches and fellow students. MMA coach Jeremy is a badass - he is passionate, very knowledgeable, great at explaining things and holds you to the highest standards, while also being kind and funny. This is a very good place. You have to trust your instincts and the vibe here feels right. There is no reason not to get involved.PS. If you do something stupid or don’t try hard enough you might get shouted at, but this comes from a place of passion and caring about students and the facilities. Ultimately you are learning to fight so it’s not all going to be smiles and hugs. More...

The best place if you want to learn how to fight!Started a few months ago, it was my first time trying fighting classes and I did not know what to expect but everything is just awesome. Also, being a girl, where MMA classes are mostly full of guys, here at LFF does not make you different, which I love. Jeremy, the coach, is great and everybody is nice and hard working. More...

Superb gym, high quality tuition and an extremely welcoming atmosphere. I'm currently training at the BJJ morning classes let by Luiz and loving every minute of it. Luiz runs superb sessions. It starts with a nice warm up, then a technical breakdown of some techniques before moving on to some sparring/rolling. I've trained judo for most of my life and have therefore spent a lot of time at different gyms, so I know a good one when I find it. London Fight Factory is one of the best gyms I have trained at. The facilities are superb, the mats are probably the cleanest I have ever trained on and as mentioned before, the quality of training is fantastic. You can feel that each instructor truly cares about his/her students' development and the entire atmosphere is extremely encouraging and feels like you're training alongside family. More...

I first entered London Fight Factory as part of my fledgling explorations in the slowly dying art of British manufacturing. I quickly realised upon entering that this was not a factory. There didn’t appear to be any conveyor belts, hordes of dissatisfied workers with glazed over expressions checking the latest run of stock, heavy industrial machinery or burly foremen bellowing assembly instructions. However, there did appear to be a conveyor belt of strapping young athletes practising a variety of martial arts, hordes of satisfied sportsmen and sportswomen with hungry eyes honing their skills, more-than-satisfactory gym machinery and several burly instructors bellowing disassembly instructions. So, instead of pursuing a burgeoning career in manufacturing, I thought this seemed a sensible place to continue my fledgling explorations in the rapidly expanding art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.One thing that impressed me fairly early on was that the head Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor Luiz noticed that I am in fact the reincarnation of the late American comedian Jerry Lewis. None of my family or friends had noticed this despite them having known me for some time (in the case of my parents, around twenty eight and a half years). There were clear similarities that my family and friends should have noticed: the obvious good looks, my nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize, my involvement with the French New Wave movement in cinema, my irrefutable aptitude for comedy of all kinds. Luiz, as well as being a great Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor, is also very good at recognising clones of well-known comedians from the second half of the twentieth century. He has also spotted some other reincarnations and clones who train at our humble gym: Will Smith, Anderson Silva, Eddie Bravo, James Bond and more besides. Though it is undoubtedly strange that clones do indeed walk the earth, and only in this corner of East London, I think overall this reflects favourably on Luiz as both a good judge of character and of physical resemblance. Not only that, I very much appreciate his continued attempts to persuade my mother to change the details on my birth certificate to show my true identity.There are other positive things to draw attention to at London Fight Factory. The receptionist-cum-manager Helen is truly the Helen of Troy of Customer Service; an incomparable figure whose customer service skills could launch a thousand direct debits. Aside from the fact that there are occasionally no pens available and Helen makes me sign in with my own blood, my experiences in the reception sphere at our noble gymnasium have always soared high above those you might encounter at flimsy rival competitors.You may think from the above comments that I have been put up to this; you may think that this land of milk and honey outlined in such vivid prose above is but a figment of some deluded reincarnated American comic’s imagination. You would be sadly wrong. This may not be a hub of British manufacturing. But it is an excellent place to train in a variety of martial arts, with friendly instructors and a great sense of community. Recommend. More...

Hi,Never written a review before, but can see how it would be useful when picking a place to train, as people would have some apprehension in starting something like this, so thought I would give some feedback. Also it is a little slow in work today and I have the time :)After one too many Joe Rogan podcasts I googled BJJ Gyms close by and found the Fight Factory, which is very conveniently located near Old Street Station. I went there on a Thursday evening and paid £15 for a single class to check it out. I actually think you can get the first class for free if you register ahead of time, but I hadn’t and really it is £15 so more than affordable.The beginning of the classes usually consist of 15/20 mins of fitness work and core bjj techniques. My level of fitness is pretty bad so I find this part especially tough but it is not as bad as it may seem. The coach always selects a very able person to lead the sets, that way you stop when that person reaches the targeted number of reps and most other people would have done less by comparison. What is crucially important however is that you try hard and don’t stop trying. Slow down but don’t stop. That seems to be the coach’s ethos and I think it is easy to see how, when implemented, it would lead to every student continuing to push themselves and to progress.As far as the focussed BJJ teaching is concerned, the coach demonstrates the techniques with his assistants, breaking them down to a step by step format with odd little descriptions so that they stick in your mind. After every repeated demonstration he asks if anyone wants to see it again, which someone inevitably does, and then he repeats it one more time and then asks you to partner up, by which you tap the person closest to you and they are always cool to work with you, and then you try the technique for a set time.That is pretty much how the classes work, but here are some additional tips for first time students.1. Bring flip flops. Don’t wear them on the mats and step into them when leaving the mats, as the moment you step barefoot on the floor, then you can’t come back on.2. Once the demo has finished and it is your turn to do the techniques, direct any question you may have to the assistant coaches and not to the head coach.3. Bring water, but when the class starts don’t go and have a sip until the coach tells everyone to go for a drink.I joined the gym around 4 months ago now and am yet to have anyone in there be unpleasant or rude, in fact the other students are always more than helpful. I only do BJJ so can’t testify to the other classes, but I recommended the place to a friend who has since joined the Muay Thai class and he is very happy with it.Apologies for the length of the review, I am a writer and my work is always in need of editing, but I hope you found the information useful.

I'd give it 10 if I could! If you're reading negative comments about their staff, please ignore. These were written by people who are more fit to go for an afternoon tea with their auntie rather than consistent, hard work. LFF is changing my life in so many ways! All instructors, and I do Muay Thai and BJJ, are professional. Everyone is treated with respect and respect for the space is expected too (e.g. no shoes on the mats) but that's a no brainer.. would you keep your shoes on at home? If you want to improve your fitness and / or get into Martial Arts for real, there is not better place really as you not only need to push yourself to the limits, you need someone else to push you too and this is why you will be expected to follow the instructions and give it 100%, but that's the beauty of it. I can ensure you you will leave every training with a HUGE smile on your face. And you will start clearing your calendar to fit in more classes. OSSS X More...
