Easton Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Thornton

“My 6 year old has been attending for two months and she has absolutely been loving and looking forward to class. We love the life lessons and defense they learn off the bat. My 6 year old has been making fast progress and we are nothing but happy with class. Our youngest will be attending when she gets old enough!”

“My 5 year old has been training here for about 4 months now and she absolutely loves attending class. I also couldn't be happier with the experience. The instructors are great with young kids, theyre incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly invested in each child's progress. I feel like they create a fun and supportive environment. What really stood out to me is how they incorporate daily team gatherings where they discuss with the kids important life lessons such as respect, perseverance, confidence and teamwork. I really feel like these moments help shape not just their jiujitsu ability but also their overall character. It's amazing to see my kid gaining confidence while learning valuable self defense skills. l've noticed a lot of growth in both her physical abilities and social interactions. I highly recommend this program for any young kids looking to learn martial arts. The facility is clean and well maintained too”

“Easton is an amazing fit for my family. We have been attending for over 2 months. This gym has a wonderful atmosphere and is a great space for learning. The coaches are VERY attentive and very understanding of how to teach young children a highly difficult and disciplined skill. Along with JuJitsu they have a “Mat Chat” daily where they discuss other life skills; such as being a good friend/sibling, controlling your emotions, and being self-disciplined. Safety is definitely a priority at Easton. I am very comfortable having my daughter in this gym and will be entering my youngest next year as welll! Thank you!!!”

“I took my kids here for about a month. I liked some things - they have a good routine, they work on teaching the kids life skills and not just jiu jitsu. However, I don't think the main teacher has the patience to work with children. You can visibly see him get quite agitated a lot with little things. He also did not tell me that my 5 year old apparently bit someone. I question whether or not that even happened because I was watching him the whole time and I did not see it. I did step out to go to the bathroom for a couple of minutes. The next day my son said a kid was pinching him when they were practicing him and did it while he was being grabbed at. My son is not the type to act out unprovoked, but he did hit the other kid who was pinching him. He told us we can't come back. I don't think he listened or cared about what happened. I could have corrected the issue the first day if I was told about it, but no one ever said anything. I think maybe they didn't want to teach my older son who is autistic, but used my younger son as an excuse to kick them out so that it wouldn't be discrimination. Both the kids were really motivated to be there, so they were sad about it. I don't think my son is the only kid who ever got mad and did something like that. I didn't get any chance to have a talk with him to fix the problem, and he has been in other sports classes before. Nothing like that ever happened. I contacted a different Jiu Jitsu school and the instructor said half the kids at her school come from the Easton school. She said a lot of the parents and kids feel like the teacher is just too intense at Easton and end up leaving. I was surprised to see no one ever talked about this on here before. Especially if you have a kid with special needs, I would just try some place else. If your kid is perfect, sure send them here. It seems like a competitive and structured program.”

“Discipline, art form, defense and fun- all things the kids are learning here, as I sit watching my nephew go thru his class. I love that all the children are taught respect not only for the Professor but also for their Coach. Exercise is not demanded but a fun activity developing muscle tone and strength. The Professor is quiet, unassuming and the kids respect 'and' like him. The Professor knows and acknowledges each child by name. He reinforces the mindset of violence as a last resort, versus as a first response. Overall, I am happily impressed by this school and would recommend Easton Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to anyone.”
