I love Soulcraft! I've been coming here for about two years now and it really is the best. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, supportive, and they provide a great environment to learn in. The coaches are excellent and really help you learn. Plus you always get a great workout in!

I haven't trained at Soulcraft Martial Arts yet. But, I spend quite some time on the mats with Professor Brad Wolfson, be it his classes at globetrotter camps, rolling or having the honor of hosting him as guest teacher at my acedemy.Brad is great teacher, who - you can tell - really enjoys teaching. Besides his technical skill he also knows how to pin down even more complex techniques or principles to some easy steps, making it easy to follow him. I think he's agreat gut and really appreciate his style of teaching and hope to hit the mats together very soon.Absolute recommendation! Go see for yourself ;-)

Great community! They somehow balance intense, rigorous training with fun environment. The instructors are amazing. Join this gym. Even throughout COVID they’ve put safety first and continued to push us. This is my happy place!

Hey All I met Brad in Belgium 🇧🇪 on a Globe trotter camp in 2015. He said “ if you ever around call in and train . Role on a few years and I meet him on a USA Bjj camp and he extended the invite to lots of people. While on route to another camp a group of us called Brad and said we are on our way to train before a camp . He initially apologised and said guys I have a full house , but stay in the gym and kept apologising that we weren’t able to stay in his house. We trained with him and stayed in the gym . We had a great open mat and used all facilities .This is a brilliant gym and everyone is made welcome with first class instructors . Brad is a gentleman and a true professional. I highly recommend this gym. OSS 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🏴🇮🇪🇺🇸 Sean London

Just started training here and can’t say enough good stuff. The coaches are always emotionally present and clearly invested in your training. Their passion for jiujitsu and teaching is tangible. I am grateful for this being a newb not only for the quality instruction but how their teaching style is reflected in their students. Everyone here helps you be better. If you are thinking about joining, JUST DO IT!

I had a wrestling background, but found a home in this gym. By all accounts, Brad is "plugged into" the local community.Whether your goal is competition or fitness, I highly recommend Soulcraft to those considering. It is a place where you will be surrounded by those who eat, sleep and dream about BJJ, without losing the perspective that can also make the gym a home away from home.

Although I tried group lessons at other dojos, based on my busy schedule constraints I determined that the private lessons option worked best for me in terms of packing as much training and detail into every session, with a dedicated coach to provide real-time instruction and feedback. Brad worked with me to develop a BJJ game plan that suited my skills and interest (age 52 years, non-competition focus, instead with emphasis on self-defense, technical skill development, and (most importantly to me) fitness and sustainability). Brad is a very knowledgable and patient teacher who is engaged and cares about his students progress. The environment at Soulcraft is friendly and welcoming to all, from us older adults down to the kids. I highly recommend Soulcraft Martial Arts for your training needs.

Soulcraft Martial Arts is one of the best places to learn vital skills to defend oneself and to have a blast doing it. My experience training here has been nothing but professional, informative, safe and fun. I highly recommend!

I started training here about 7 years ago and I've been here ever since. Ages range from under 5 to over 50. There are people who have no martial arts experience and are just looking to try out a new activity, as well as people who regularly compete in local tournaments. The instruction is top notch, and it's a great community. Give it a try!

I was able to attend one of Brad Wolfson's seminars at a Jiu-Jitsu camp a few years back, and I'm still using some of the pointers/techniques even to this day! Brad is knowledgeable, professional and patient with his instruction, and I'm looking forward to running into him again sometime in the future. Highly recommended!
