BJJ Swamp Academy

“Ken and Dani are two of the best instructors I've encountered in any martial art. Ken has an extensive background in the sport, but more importantly he has created an school that makes you feel safe and can enjoy learning and practicing the sport. The other instructors are fantastic as well and they have classes for women and children. Gainesville is lucky to have an school of this caliber and I look forward to walking through the door every week.”

“This is very welcoming gym environment. I love Ken's teaching style, he mentions all the important details of a technique that many others leave out. Lots of mat space, and plenty of training partners of all skill levels to roll with. This gym also has a pretty robust class schedule, with multiple morning and evening classes.”

“My two daughters attend the program at BJJ Swamp, and I can’t say enough good things about it! They have an amazing Group of instructors, they are not only incredibly skilled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but also deeply passionate about teaching and helping each child grow both on and off the mat. The quality of instruction is top-notch. Mr. Ken is so patient and detailed in his teaching, ensuring that each student understands the techniques and principles. Miss Danny brings so much energy and positivity, making every class fun while reinforcing discipline and respect. My daughters love coming to class and have gained so much confidence, strength, and focus thanks to this program. The sense of community at BJJ Swamp is unmatched—everyone from the instructors to the students and parents makes you feel like part of a family. If you're looking for a place where your kids can learn valuable life skills, stay active, and be surrounded by supportive and motivating people, BJJ Swamp is the place to be!”

“Honestly, it was one of the best, if not the best, experiences I had at a BJJ gym. I came here with a friend who is a member, and they are very welcoming. The people who taught ensured that you were adequately executing the proper technique. The culture here is very positive, and everyone wants to see you get better. I highly recommend this gym to anyone, no matter what part of their journey or experience in BJJ.”

“I'm in town all week for a work conference and needed a place to drop in and train. BJJ Swamp academy was just a few blocks from my hotel so I decided to go here and I'm so glad that I did. The instructor (Kenneth) was super welcoming and the team was really friendly and made me feel welcomed. Had some awesome drills and rolls tonight. I highly recommend this academy. If I lived in the area this would definitely be my home gym. OSS!!!”
