Testimonials
“I just love training with the Factory BJJ guys! Adam is so technically orientated, so creative in his approach to Jiu Jitsu, that grappling with him is like playing a game of chess while running an obstacle course!”
“Factory BJJ provides the kind of grass-roots training that has always appealed most strongly to me in my martial arts travels. The culture that Adam has built on his mat is one of mutual respect and infectious enthusiasm. I absolutely loved my recent visit and cannot wait to get back there next year.”
“Adam Adshead is a fantastic coach. He has an excellent technical knowledge, and can convey this well to his students. More importantly, though, he has an obvious love for the sport, and will go out of his way to help his students improve. He helped me out greatly when training for the ADCC tournament, and gave me several pointers that really helped my game. I’d highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn jiu jitsu.”
