“We were new to NC and my kid is super shy, so trying something like jujitsu was a big deal. A lot of times she gives up before giving things a real shot. But Coach Jamarr completely changed that. At her very first class, he was tough in the best way—patient, kind, but not letting her quit. When she struggled with an exercise, he didn’t just tell her to try again—he got down beside her and did it with her. He encouraged her the whole time. Now jujitsu is her favorite part of the week. She’s more confident, she talks about what she learned, and she actually wants to keep going. That’s all because of how Coach Jamarr shows up. Five stars. Really happy with how things are going.”
