Groundwork Jiu-Jitsu

“We’ve been with groundwork for a couple years now and we love the fam! Coach John is great with the kids, keeps them on their toes, all while having FUN!”

“One of the most friendly and family-oriented martial arts places I've ever encountered. They are very active and strong in the community. They instill respect for the teacher and parents from their students. Coach John is the best instructor, very patient and well spoken. He takes his time to make sure each student comprehends the techniques taught.”

“This gym has been a great experience all the way through. I'm so grateful to all the people at this gym that have helped me enjoy this journey and life changing goal. I look forward to the future at groundwork and achieving my goal.”

“Groundwork has been an incredible blessing for our family. It’s so much more than a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu —it’s a community that fosters growth, discipline, and mutual respect. Coach John is the heart of it all. His leadership is rooted in self-control, respect, and discipline, and he instills those values in every student. Coach John creates a positive, supportive environment where everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, feels seen and encouraged to grow both on and off the mats. He leads by example, demonstrating the importance of hard work , patience, perseverance and unity. Our boys have gained not only physical skills but also life lessons that will stay with them forever. We’re so grateful for this gym and for Coach John’s commitment to helping everyone succeed, not just in jiu-jitsu, but in life. It’s truly a special place, and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

“Coach John, James, Dylan and Cam truly set the bar for what I look for in Coaches and role models for my children. Can’t express the amount of admiration my family and I have for this academy. True professionals and caring individuals from the instructors and students to the family’s that attend class with their children. A great community we we’re grateful to be apart of and will continue to measure against the academy’s we attend from here on out.”
