We workout with Core Strength and Performance which shares a building with 5 Minds. The youth class for 5 Minds lined up with our strength training time so we decided to let all 3 of our kids (15, 13,11) who have never done jiujitsu give it a try. After the first trial class they were all hooked. Dave and Deven do a phenomenal job in the youth class teaching the fundamentals and making it fun. They model the move, train the move, play a game or have an activity to reinforce the moves and then end with some rolling to let the kids put it all together. They are there helping and coaching every step of the way. I also appreciate how they take the time to teach the kids how to be good partners and look out of each other’s safety. This sport is challenging and at times my 13 year old has found himself in uncomfortable positions and panicked a little and Dave or Deven have been right there helping calm him and coaching him through the next steps. And the smile and sense of accomplishment he has for working through hard things has been really rewarding. But I cannot emphasize or say enough about what it has done and taught my daughter already. During my daughter’s trial class, the owner Heidi was there and partnered with her and she had an amazing time. Heidi was a great partner also helping coach her through the moves and positions and during the rolling gave my daughter time work and think and move. The drive home that night she talked non stop what she did and how cool it was. I cannot remember the last time she was so excited about something. As she has done more classes there isn’t always a female there for her to practice with. However all of the guys have always been very respectful and made her feel comfortable. Deven made a point to make sure she knew that if she didn’t want to work with someone she can always say “no” and it doesn’t have to be explained. No is a complete sentence. And that really helps her feel comfortable knowing that. Though she has never felt the need to decline trying any of the movements with any of the great people that train here. She leaves each class with a huge smile and radiating pride in what she did. I love that she is not only getting valuable self defense skills, she is also getting stronger and more confident.

Great martial arts school (has a gym inside too if u fancy lifting some weights and getting some good coaching ). First our son got enrolled and after a month we couldn't stop ourselves and got involved too. Needless to say our entire family loves spending time here. Kids classes are fun, full of games with purpose. Coaches are doing a great job at making the kids feel comfortable with the new sport and environment and engaging their brain. Adults classes cater to all levels and I feel super comfortable as a beginner. Coaches have a bag of knowledge in the sport and always available to help and guid. The availability of morning classes has made it easier for me to attend.

5 Minds Martial arts provides excellent instruction in a beautiful facility, with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. The training provided here is excellent for experienced practitioners and beginners, it’s clear the coaches are passionate about teaching and aim to give their students the best learning experience possible. This goes for the kids and adult classes (I have a 4 year old that has a blast at the Tiny Tatsu classes). The gym sets a high bar, with an ocean of Fuji mats and really nice bathrooms with showers! Highly recommend checking this place out if interested in training.

5 Minds is an absolutely outstanding place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. Whether you’re brand new to the sport or already hold a belt, the instruction is top notch. The coaches are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but they genuinely care about each student’s progress — and it shows in every class. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and focused on helping everyone grow, both on and off the mats. If you’re looking for a place where you’ll be challenged, supported, and taught by people who truly love what they do, 5 Minds is the place to be.

This is hands down the best place I've ever trained! The instruction is unmatched, the environment is relaxed, and there is so much mat space. Whether you're a life long martial artist or just starting out. No matter your age or physical limitations, 5M is a great place to learn and grow.
