“My 5 year old started here and he is absolutely in love with it. Matt is amazing with kids and you can tell the children trust and respect him. Akira is incredibly patient und my son absolutely adores her. 10/10 recommend this gym.”

“Truly amazed at the instructor and experience. It was more than inviting and we had a great time getting involved as we are beginners - never touched martial arts at all! The instructor is very knowledgeable and thorough with what he does. He made us feel more confident in what we were doing. We recommend Black Tie for all jiu jitsu needs - beginner and all!!”

“I dropped in for a session while in the area and was seriously impressed. The facilities are top-notch—clean mats, plenty of space, and a professional setup that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The coaching is high-level, the Owner/Professor not only know his stuff but also knows how to teach it clearly and effectively. The training partners were skilled, respectful, and provided a great mix of technical and intense rolls. When reaching out the Staff were super responsive and made the drop-in process smooth and hassle-free. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned grappler, this gym delivers. Highly recommend!”

“I’ll start with this is an awesome and well rounded dojo! We started here almost 5 months ago after shopping around Onslow County for many months before finding our new family. I and my two kids 6/8yrs old practice BJJ here. I roll at 6am and the kids are in the beginners and comp class. Wife will be starting with the awesome all womans self defense class. Firstly the price was what put them to the top of my list but the atmosphere and the people is what sold us. The instructors here are very out going and better yet a great roll model for my kids to immolate. They push the kids to their individual limits and build they up with the right amount of encouragement for the confidence they need to continue to have fun and keep bettering themselves. This dojo is up and coming with their future additions for additional amenities for member to indulge in soon!!!! So excited we found them and we couldn’t be happier with all the love and care towards our family always showing compassion and understanding. As for us adults this is an instructor who truly loves what he does and take the time to perfect your technique and pushes us to as good and we can even when we start to give up on ourselves(me haha).”

“After spending quite some time searching for the right jiu-jitsu gym for our kids, we were thrilled to come across this one, especially since it’s conveniently located near our home. From the moment we walked in, we felt a strong sense of community. It’s not just a gym—it truly feels like a team and family environment. The coaches are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and patient with the kids. What really stood out to us is their emphasis on discipline and structure. This isn’t a place where kids are just running around; there’s a clear focus on respect, technique, and personal growth, which we really appreciate as parents. Our kids look forward to every class, and we’ve seen noticeable improvements not only in their physical skills but also in their confidence and attitude. We’ve been more than pleased with our experience here and can’t recommend this place enough to other families looking for a quality jiu-jitsu program.”
