If your looking for a family oriented but competition ready team or just a place to really get in shape through JiuJitsu then 1802 is the place for you and your kids! Started with my youngest around 2016 and still here with my oldest daughter now training!

I’m really happy with this gym: The coaches are prepared and patient. But above all there are so many for the toddlers group, so that everyone can follow them. The gym is clean and tidy. It has a large parking lot available for families and a room for parents and other expectant siblings with toys and videogames.

I mean I own a martial arts school in the area and I still bring my kids and train jujitsu here, what else is there to say 😂 1802 is great and whether it’s kids or adults your kids are going to get all the benefits of a highly qualified instructor who can even break it down for kids. I’ve seen jujitsu teachers who can’t teach kids and it hurts to watch. Watching Professor Henry teach my kiddo sold me he is the real deal. And I just all around love the training environment, great place to train!

We recommend 1802 Jiu-Jitsu to everyone we meet! We've been training at 1802 as a family since our oldest was only 4 years old and now she's almost 12 and it's been an amazing experience from day one. The coaches and professors are incredibly welcoming, patient, and truly care about each student's progress — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. What really stands out is the family-oriented atmosphere. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, everyone is treated with respect and encouragement. It’s a safe space where toddlers, kids, teens, and adults can learn discipline, self-defense, and most importantly, build confidence. My kids used to be hesitant to try new things, but after training with 1802, I’ve seen a huge boost in their self-esteem and focus — both on and off the mat. The sense of community here is strong, and it feels like you're part of something bigger. If you’re looking for a place that teaches real skills, promotes positivity, and treats you like family, this is it! We also get together as a whole for some really fun events like the annual Summer Picnic, Halloween and Holiday Parties with tons of food, games, and all around fun for kids and adults! We love our 1802 family! ❤️

My daughter has been doing jiu jitsu for about a year now. We're seeing tremendous growth in her skills and confidence. We absolutely love the professors and coaches at 1802. They are highly skilled, patient, and attentive teachers. They truly care about the kids and foster a great learning environment. As others have said, there is a warm welcoming vibe and a strong sense of community. Highly recommend 1802 to all!
