Freeport Martial Arts has a great instructor, John Garvins, who is passionate about teaching all kinds and ages of people. It’s a great place for beginners, even with zero experience. Our entire family enjoys going all week to exercise, burn energy, combat stress, and have a social outlet. The space itself is relaxed, clean, and calm, but it’s also a great group of people who will make you feel comfortable and welcome. Jiu Jitsu has a laundry list of benefits that can be utilized for you or your child’s entire life, as a lifestyle with a built in community. This is a perfect place to start that journey!

Jiu-jitsu is something I never knew I needed. I found this community after a year of turmoil, with lower lows than I ever imagined but with that came the highest highs I’ve ever experienced. Freeport Martial Arts gives me the community and confidence to be fully myself. It’s given me an outlet to reduce stress from running a business, a community of relationships that have turned into extraordinary friendships, and way to move my body and mind keeping me both mentally and physically strong. Being relatively new to Freeport, I am eternally grateful for this experience. On days I don’t feel like training, I end up laughing and walking out of there with my mood lifted and excited for the next training session. I urge everyone to try it, try something, somewhere - you never know what you could be missing out on. You may walk out of there with a new best friend, a really cool skill or even just a good story. Come join me on my journey and start yours. We can’t wait to meet you.

I joined the women's self defense class back in February. Absolutely loved it! Loved it so much that I ended up joined the No Gi classes and will be joining boxing next month. Everyone there is absolutely amazing and I feel very comfortable there. Great workout, great people, great environment!
