Community Reviews
HOG members reviewing registered academies. Honest feedback from the community.
Dani Pavlu runs an incredible Aikido program. The attention to form and the respect on the mat is unmatched. Dropping in was a highlight of my trip to Berlin.
Edzo Karate and the team at Karate Dojo are building something special. Great instruction, disciplined environment, and a welcoming community for all levels.
João Victor is the real deal. ApexBJJ brings authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with heart and technique. Can't wait to train there again.
KIDO Dojo is a gem. Botond creates an environment where beginners and advanced students both feel challenged. A true community dojo.
