Epoch BJJ

“I have been training for just over 5 years, and I have had the luxury of dropping in at gyms throughout the country. I can, without a doubt, say that Epoch is one of the best places to train. Tamal and Brian are top-notch instructors; they do a fantastic job at creating a welcoming, safe, and enjoyable environment. Whether it is self-defense or competition skills that you seek, Epoch is the place to train in Wilmington.”

“I started my BJJ journey here. Starting here was one of the top 10 decisions I have made in my life. The only negative I have, is now I will NEVER find a gym like this again. It sets such a high standard for fun, as well as the people in the gym. All of the instructors make it so easy to find a style you mesh with well. And the amount of classes they have per week is amazing. There is definitely a class for you to get to. I will forever be searching for a standard higher than Epoch!”

“Great place to train, with excellent instructors. Can't ask for a better environment to find whatever you want in your Jiu-Jitsu journey with some amazing training partners as well. All welcome, from novice to master. Can't say enough great things about Epoch and their staff.”

“Both my 7 year old son and I train at Epoch JJ and it is awesome! The kids classes are a great miix of training and fun so the kids learn then get "rewarded" with some games at the end. Coaches Maddie and Tyler (aka Tarzan) have a perfect balance of discipline and humor to keep the kids working hard but not intimidating them. My son is progressing well and really enjoys it there. The adult classes are fantastic. The instructors all have VERY different personalities and approaches, so you get a really nice variety of training styles which is good when learning jiu jitsu. And all of the coaches and staff are just super cool people. And, as far as I can tell, they have the best schedule in the area with classes in the morning, midday, and evenings. They cater to everyone, so whether you're looking for self defense skills, a good workout, or want to compete in jiu jitsu tournaments, they'll take care of you. It's a really open and supportive environment. Even with no experience, feeling self conscious and anxious, they make you feel comfortable and right at home from the minute you walk in the door. They offer a free trial so you can get in there on the mats and see what they're about with no obligation. If you've ever wanted to try jiu jitsu, have your kid try it, or are looking for a new training environment, I highly recommend Epoch Jiu Jitsu.”

“Have been training jujitsu for a little over a decade now. Have been to MANY gyms/dojos and i can say that in every way EPOCH BJJ TAKES THE CAKE! Bunch of amazing people trying to make other people the best they can be. From the initial warm-up, to instruction, to grappling... The entire team was in control of themselves and met my needs (back injury) with self-control. Have made this young "gimp" very happy as I have found a place to train. Thanks everyone. Super clean, super disciplined, and super nice. Highly recommend.”
