Dak Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

“For the past month, I’ve been training MMA under the influence of Michael Dakessian. A high-skilled fighting coach and Jiu-Jitsu black belt owner. Mike is down-to-earth, passionate, and motivating. He welcomes new students like they’re his blood and puts his best foot forward to help everyone get better. Also, you’ll meet some great people here who want to not only improve, but to help others as well. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to start combat sports and build their confidence by becoming the best brawler they can be.”

“Been training here for the past 6-7 months, all I can say is that the instructor, Michael is amazing and down to earth and pushes us to our limits. Everyone here is like a family, and is hospitable. The facility is massive with a ton of space so you don’t feel like your gonna hit a wall when rolling, and the atmosphere is supportive as we all try to help tone each others skills.”

“I’ve trained at multiple gyms, but this one is truly something special. From the moment you walk in, you can feel that this place isn’t just about business, it’s about the love of the sport. Coach Mike isn’t here for the money, he’s here because he genuinely cares about jiu-jitsu and about every single student who steps onto the mats. His passion is contagious, and he goes above and beyond to make sure everyone improves, whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned competitor. The environment here is unlike any other gym I’ve been to. It’s not just a place to train, it’s a family. Everyone supports each other, pushes each other, and celebrates each other’s progress. There are no egos, no bad attitudes, just people who love the art and want to see each other succeed. The level of instruction is top-tier, but what truly sets this gym apart is the culture. You’re not just learning techniques; you’re growing mentally and physically in an environment that builds confidence, resilience, and discipline. If you’re looking for a place to train where you’ll be challenged, supported, and treated like family, this is it. Best gym I’ve ever been a part of, hands down.”

“The best place to train! Great atmosphere and aesthetic. The curriculum for the month is ever changing and will always further your development to be agile when on the mat. Dak is intentional, considerate and the biggest supporter there is of a coach out here. He's focuses on the student and truly embodies the saying that they are a reflection, a product of himself. He will never let you down and I've never been part of a gym where I felt seen and where regardless of how many questions I ask, he will always be there to answer. We truly have created a family here and that's something not a lot of places have. That hour drive for me is worth it 100%!”

“Coach Mike is the kind of coach every BJJ practitioner hopes to train under. His deep technical knowledge, patient teaching style, and genuine investment in his students’ growth set him apart in every way. Whether you’re a beginner learning the fundamentals or a seasoned competitor refining advanced techniques, Coach Mike meets you where you are and helps push you further.”
