BLACK LION JIU JITSU ACADEMY Grand Rapids Michigan

“Trained here while I was visiting family. Great gym with great coaching, culture and community. Will definitely come back to train again when I'm in town.”

“If you want a quality place to train and learn different skills Black Lion is the place to be. Excellent instructors Justin and Chad will always take care of you and are obsessed with developing your skills and knowledge everyday your there. I was very hesitant starting BJJ but after the first class my mind changed and I was hooked and have been taken care of the whole time. Don’t think twice about going anywhere else than this gym! Black Lion is the place to be simple as that.”

“Chad and Justin are fantastic instructors and will help you improve at all levels. Atmosphere in the gym is welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.”

“I could not speak more highly about this place. I travel the country for work and have been to as many jiu jitsu gyms one can go to. This place is elite. Chad the owner is a 10/10 dude. He has trained world champion UFC fighters from the start of their career. (Jamahal hill) He does an incredible job of breaking up the class into beginners and more advanced practitioners. He served and protected our country in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is everything and more you would want to learn martial arts from. If you are advanced he’s perfect, if it’s your first day he is perfect. If you have been thinking about trying jiu jitsu this is your sign to go give it a try at black lion.”

“My 7 year old son has been going for about 3 months now. He has a ton of fun, the instructors know exactly what they are doing and run a tight ship. The main instructor Bryce has found his calling, creating a welcoming environment and teaching life long lessons. I'd give this place 10 stars if I could.”
