“I’ve been training for a while in a different state, I’ve tried various academies in the Melbourne area and I find this academy as an excellent place to train, the instructors love what they do and they truly enjoy helping others improve at their skills. I find the school extremely well rounded. I have miles on me and I’m much older than those I train with, and I’m finding a great deal of improvement in my ability and my training, I feel extremely encouraged to come to class as much as I can. Thank you very much to David Sutton and Jr. I feel very much at home.”

“Every time I visit Melbourne I make sure to stop by. David is an awesome instructor and he really makes you feel like you are at home. The gym has a great vibe, the people there are friendly, and the mat space is big.”

“I reached out to Prof. Sutton before heading down to Melbourne, FL for the holidays and asked if it would be possible to stop by and train while I was in town. He and his students were so welcoming. I wasn't even the only visitor there in the class I attended. I loved everything about the class. From the unique warm-up style, to gathering around to discuss technique, to practicing the technique of the day. It was all very enlightening and amazing to be a part of. Prof. Sutton's passion for Jiu Jitsu was evident in everything that he showed us. He even answered a specific question that I had after class and showed me the answer. He definitely did not have to do that, but I am so glad he did. I have even been able to show the head instructor at my home gym. Can't wait to be back in Florida to visit again.”

“GREAT FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES. This place is absolutely awesome! The price is great considering classes are a full hour Monday through Thursday, and the benefits go way beyond just learning BJJ. No matter your child's personality or skill level, they’ll gain confidence and real self-defense skills. My four kids are all very different, and each one has taken so much away from these classes. If you have multiple kids, it’s incredibly convenient—one location, indoors, no worrying about rainouts, sunburns, or field issues like with team sports. The instructors strike the perfect balance of being fun and kind while still instilling discipline. Overall, I couldn’t be happier, and I highly recommend it!”

“Dropped in today for some Black Friday training. Great facility with excellent instructors and training partners. David was very attentive during instruction even taking time for individual coaching. Would highly recommend to any practitioner of any level”
