“Great jiu jitsu gym! Welcoming for newcomers but also great for more advanced jiu jitsu practitioners. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and also a great teacher. I have been training here for a couple years and continue to enjoy it very much! They have a flexible schedule - they have classes in the morning, at noon during the week, and in the evenings. I've trained at several different gyms over the years, but I continue to come back here.”

“I live In Colorado and come to the twin cities for work and have been dropping In here when I can. I travel a lot for work and hit many jits places. Higher ground is by far one of my favorites. True home away from home. Can’t recommend this place enough. If you’re on the fence just give them a shot. You won’t be disappointed”

“We came in for a free class with our 4 year old son who is full of energy to say the least. Josh was extremely patient and met him where he was at and got him engaged. The gym was very clean and in great condition. We felt very welcomed and impressed. Very happy to have such a great spot in our town.”

“Excellent program led by Chris, a black belt under João Alfredo Tavares Marinho (GFTeam). I’ve been a member since Aug2021 when they opened. Constructive coaching, not an environment with egos or bro culture. Very welcoming for beginners and experience BJJ practitioners alike. Gi and no-gi classes. Stop in and try a week free, both types of jiujitsu!”
