Blue Gorilla BJJ is not only a martial arts school, but a healthy learning environment that values family and community. The skills learned are practical and can almost always be applied to a self-defense, real-life scenario. Coach Adam is patient, kind, and receptive to any questions one may have. I can't recommend the academy enough, and BJJ is well worth a try!

Absolutely great people! I am attempting a personal challenge of 100 days on the mats but decided to travel over the holiday weekend. Got my schedule mixed up for Saturday at another gym, missed their open mat and was in a bit of a panic. I had reached out earlier to Blue Gorilla BJJ that week and had already lined up for Sunday. So I took a long shot and reached back out. Adam (The owner and black belt) got back to me right away and made the time for me to get some rolls in. Really knows his stuff but let me at least feel like I put up the good fight, hahaha.(After a full day of hosting a birthday party mind you) Even got one of his white belts (John, I believe) to come in too. Monster of a guy I'll admit, but was excellent about controlling his pressure and wasn't spazzy at all. So much respect and you could tell that the love of JiuJitsu ran deep there. Great community and I will definitely be going back to visit. (They got me to the top of the hill at 50/100 days btw)

I recently joined Adam's gym, and I couldn't be more impressed with the experience. Adam has an innate ability to break down complex techniques into manageable steps, making them accessible for practitioners of all skill levels. The atmosphere in the gym is welcoming and inclusive, fostering a strong sense of community among the members. His staff of coaches are all professionals and take a personal interest in your growth and development.

Very detailed instruction especially for a beginner like myself, Adam and his instructors have a deep love for the Art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and it shows in their teaching. Highly recommend Blue Gorilla BJJ.

When I got the invite to Blue Gorilla Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu I got a little nervous because BJJ is new for me. All it took was one class to hook me! I felt welcomed by everyone and I learn so much every-time I go. The coaches are very knowledgeable and they want to see everyone succeed. If you are current or retired law enforcement, I highly recommend the LE only class. It’s a great opportunity to train with other LEO’s in the area and prepare yourself for real world scenarios that you might find yourself in while on the job. Chad E.
