I've been going to AOM to practise BJJ for around two months now and couldn't recommend it highly enough. I am a complete beginner but it was not an intimidating environment to come into. Tried another BJJ gym nearby but got a better feel by AOM, everyone who goes is super friendly and Rad is a great teacher.
Our daughter is learning capoeira at AOM since a few months now and loves it. Lise and Rad are fantastic teachers who transmit their passion and respect for this Brazilian martial art in a very positive and motivating way. Learning about the culture and history of capoeira, songs, playing the instruments, the moves and how to be part of a community is such a rich and holistic experience for the children. Great place and great atmosphere!
Rad and Lise’s capoeira classes have been a big part of both my daughter’s lives for years. They create a really lovely, welcoming environment where the kids feel free to express themselves and explore all sorts including: singing, learning Portuguese, playing instruments, as well as learning the capoeira moves. It’s a great all round club for kids and adults. Would highly recommend.
Rad is an absolutely brilliant teacher. My boys have been going to him for 6 months now. I’ve never met a more sincere and caring teacher, who all the kids respond to so well. He is so unique in his teaching methods, and amazingly his approach resonates just as well with adults as it does with kids. The quality is superb, the groups are sensibly sized. Rad is an absolute hero, and his team with him are superb. 5 stars and more :-)
Greetings from Portugal! I can’t thank enough the hospitality of AOM, Rad is a fantastic instructor, very knowledgeable and beautiful to watch! While on holiday I decided to come train jiu-jitsu. I’m a white belt and I was treated like a friend and most importantly like one of them. Everyone in the academy is inclusive and welcoming! Their patience in teaching me details and helping me improve gave me great joy and makes me want to move here! I also tried their capoeira class! Ive been a capoeirista for a good many years. The class was very well structured and tough. We practiced esquivas, takedowns, good movement and some basic kicks. It was a system the instructor Liz put in place with great flow! Liz was very diligent and instructive throughout! I had a lot of fun playing and learning from both Rad and Liz! I will be back for more when I next come to Bristol! It was an honor learning from both. I highly recommend coming and giving AOM a try!
Capoeira is an art of movement that is thought by lovely and passionate people here at AOM..they just have so much to offer. I believe it is great place to train to be fit mentally and physically .They offer free trials and I highly recommend giving it a try as there is a lot to experience!
I am such a fan of Lise and her capoeira and maculele classes, and Lise put so much thought into each class. She prepped new routines each time, sent round interesting facts, videos and music in between classes, and adapted the level of difficult depending on people's ability. Lise also offered flexibility, strength and dance classes to suit everyone's tastes. I was, if I'm honest, quite scared about trying capoeira for the first time, but Lise made it a fun as well as challenging experience. Highly recommend :)
I loved every capoeira session with Lise! Each session was so well thought out and we had really good fun. I would recommend Art of Movement to anyone and can't wait to book in for some more sessions! Thanks Lise for everything.
friendly Environment and well run really enjoyable sessions I feel like every session I learn and develop , I Do capoeira and its got a good range of beginner students to people who have been doing it for many years so I think the capoeira is perfect for all skill levels
