Fenix Highlanders Club

“I can't say enough good things about Fenix Highlanders Club, Professor Shawn, coaches, the facility. My teenage daughter has been training for a few months and she has learned so much, built her confidence, and felt comfortable and supported by everyone at the facility throughout her time there. Professor Shawn is awesome - not only extremely skilled in BJJ and a gifted and patient teacher but also an exceptional and empathetic human being who truly cares about others and wants his students to grow and succeed and feel confident and good about themselves. We are so lucky to have this facility in the North Country!”

“I have been training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a little over 2 1/2 years now, and every single bit of that has been at the Fenix Highlanders Club. Can honestly starting this journey is one of the best decisions I've ever made. And I could not be happier that I chose Fenix Highlanders Club as my BJJ home. Professor Shawn and Coach Nate are fantastic teachers, and they truly care about everyone who walks through the door. From my first day, Fenix Highlanders Club, instructors and students alike, have provided a safe and welcoming environment to not only myself, but everyone who has come in, whether you're a newbie coming in for a free trial, or a drop-in from another school. Jiu-jitsu has truly changed my life, I have lost 50 lbs since starting this, and I am stronger, both physically and mentally, and am much more confident in myself. I have also met some fantastic people along the way. This has truly been the most rewarding journey so far, and I leave every class looking forward to the next one. If you want to start your BJJ journey, then this is the place to do it!”

“A wonderful gym to go and learn at. Everyone is welcoming and it is a great environment to learn in. I’ve been going for a month but it has helped me on my own personal fitness journey. Highly recommend anyone who is thinking about trying jiujitsu. Coach Shawn is an incredible teacher”

“I've been training at Fenix Highlanders Club for a little over a year now and only have nice things to say. Professor Shawn and Coach Nate are phenomenal at breaking down techniques and pushing you to get better. I'm in better shape than I was a year ago and am able to do techniques I thought I would never be able to do when I started. Looking forward to progressing further under their guidance and with the team around me.”

“I am brand new to BJJ and did not know what to expect. All members are extremely welcoming regardless of age, gender, or experience. Class is structured well starting with drills, followed by group instruction with individual feedback, and wrapping up with some time to roll and apply what you have learned. Great way to learn some self defense strategies, get some exercise and expand your horizons. Definitely take advantage of the free drop in if you are considering!”
