Field notes

Reviews from visiting grapplers.

“
Had an amazing time training here! I'm coming from Renzo Gracie in NYC and the atmosphere is so friendly and the level is high. Great wrestling, great leg locks! Mano is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to roll with.

[...] The level of instruction that Manolis gave was outstanding and very technical and detailed. You can tell the that Manolis and his students take training seriously, but the atmosphere is still incredibly welcoming and relaxed. What really stood out was the quality of the training partners. Everyone rolled hard but respectfully, and the room was full of skilled students! [...] If you’re traveling through Crete and want high-level BJJ with a great black belt instructor and a friendly environment, I can’t recommend this place enough. [...]

Great coach — showed technique and described it in several languages. Really good environment, up to date techniques. I'll definitely go back to train again!
