Everything my Coach teaches works! Empower Jiu Jitsu is more than just a gym, it’s a place where you grow, learn, and push yourself beyond limits you didn’t think were possible. Coach Jason has created an incredible environment that is welcoming to everyone, regardless of experience level. His attention to detail, focus on safety, and ability to break down techniques in a way that actually works make him an outstanding instructor. Since training here, I’ve not only improved my skills but also gained confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of community. Everything my Coach teaches works! If you’re looking for a place to train, Empower Jiu Jitsu is the best choice in Saxonburg. Highly recommend! Let's Go

I am from Chicago and was visiting a friend in Butler for 2-3 weeks. I trained here at Empower as it was one of few BJJ academies nearby. This gym was super clean, everyone was super nice and welcoming, and Coach Jason teaches so well! I enjoyed training here and learned a lot! I had great rolls with people of different levels and they were all diligent with injuries I had. I appreciate Coach Jason for welcoming me into the gym and sharing his vast knowledge of BJJ. Highly recommend coming here for kids and adults!!

Empower made my granddaughter feel welcome right away. Coach Jason has the kids working hard and loving it. Its only been a month and she already has noticeable improvement in confidence and knows some moves too.

I’m a black belt from Arizona visiting family and was happy to find an academy nearby. I brought my nephew in for a class and he loves it. Jason runs a great kids class! Everyone was welcoming and supportive - great vibes! I came back for no-gi class and I’m glad I did. If you’re in the Saxonburg area and thinking about training - do it! Prof. Reno provides detailed instruction and great atmosphere.

I’ve been training at Empower Jiu Jitsu for about two years, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Coach Jason's method of instructing is outstanding—he creates an environment that’s not only educational but also welcoming, positive, and lots of fun. All of the training partners I’ve met here are both friendly and supportive, making each class something I look forward to. Recently, my 5-year-old daughter joined the kids' class, and I’ve been so impressed with how Coach Jason has helped the children feel comfortable with both the space and the contact involved in training. He is great at connecting with the younger students, making them excited to learn and grow. She is always looking forward to her next class. The owner of Empower clearly takes pride in his space, maintaining an incredibly clean and organized facility. It’s evident that he truly values his students and their development, always ensuring a high-quality environment for everyone who steps on the mat. I highly recommend Empower Jiu Jitsu to anyone looking to learn Jiu Jitsu in a positive, supportive community, whether you’re an adult or looking for a place for your kids to train.
