Along with his wife Coach Rosie and monster competitor Coach Brett Esteem has adult and kid classes multiple times a day every day. Whether you prefer gi or no gi, you’re a beginner or a black belt, you’re a child or an adult there is a class that’s perfect for you and your skill level. Esteem is a welcoming gym full of friendly killers and it’s a great place to drop in and visit or stay and sign up. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this gym and the people that train there and run it.”
“This is definitely the best gym to train at in the area. The Coach Michael Stratton works diligently to encourage his students to grow in the gym. His wealth of knowledge, instruction and heart for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu can be seen from the kids to adults classes, from the beginners to advanced and champions he has worked to develop. This is a championship gym, hence the medals, belts on the wall however the family friendly atmosphere and love transcends among those who train here. If you're looking to get started in BJJ, this is the ONLY gym in the area worth checking out.”
“I've been training at Esteem for a year now. I can attest to the quality of instruction and atmosphere. Michael Stratton and his wife Rosie run a friendly, family orientated academy. Both Michael and Brett are top notch instructors. Equally important, I think, is that the other students are welcoming and supportive.”
“v been training at Esteem BJJ since January 2016. I have been extremely pleased with this team, coming from another academy didn’t matter as i was taken in with open arms and supported 100%. The Instructor and coaches are so passionate and supportive. I chose to compete 4 times this year and they have been in my corner and coached all 4 of my tournaments. They have amazing kids classes and i would say they put a ton of energy into the kids, just looking at the schedule you will see the emphasis they put towards the kids.I truly am grateful to be apart of this team as they have become extended family to me”
“Michael Stratton Jr and the entire team at Esteem Jiu Jitsu are supportive and welcoming to students of all levels especially brand new. They are welcoming of visitors to their open mats and I learn something every time I roll here. Highly recommended!!! I appreciate everyone at Esteem Jiu Jitsu and appreciate them letting me train there. Charles V”
