Great Lakes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“I highly recommend my jiujitsu gym for anyone looking to train in a professional, safety-focused environment. Kelley and Adam are exceptional instructors who demonstrate great expertise, dedication, and care for their students' development. It’s a privilege to be part of such a well-run and supportive training community. I have enjoyed it for the past two years and looking forward for more.”

“I have trained at many different BJJ academies since the late 90s and Great Lakes is one of the best. The owner is a highly skilled and technical black belt, while also remaining humble and kind. They have tons of mat space and a gym with more mat space on the lower level. Also different high level black belts from different academies teach there on a regular basis so the diversity of techniques and ideas is outstanding. If you want the best academy at a good price this is your place.”

“Great gym and great atmosphere. The coaches are highly skilled and very knowledgeable. Not everyone who’s good at Jiu Jitsu is good at teaching, these coaches are skilled in both areas. The coaches and members are friendly and welcoming to anybody of any skill level. Aside from Jiu Jitsu they offer striking classes and provide a weight room for resistance and cardiovascular training. I’d also like to highlight that they take pride in conducting the best kids classes which requires a totally different coaching strategy. This is a great gym for anyone looking to start Jiu Jitsu or continue honing their skills as a black belt and everything in between. I can’t say enough good things about this gym, stop in and see for yourself.”

“Kids have been going here an over a year now. Instructors and staff have been amazing. I love the fact that I can work out while the kids are doing their training. This training and style is way better than TKD and TSD fighting styles in the way of being more practical in real fighting situations my kids have done both styles and love this more. You will not find a better place.”

“Great Lakes BJJ stands out for its excellent instruction and strong sense of community. The coaches are highly skilled and focused on fostering improvement across all levels. The environment is welcoming, with members who are respectful and committed to training safely and effectively. Although it's over a 30-minute drive from my home, the quality of instruction and the positive atmosphere make the commute worthwhile. For anyone seeking a well-run gym with knowledgeable instructors and a supportive community, I highly recommend Great Lakes!”
