My daughter and I both enjoy classes and open mat sessions 3-4 days a week. Professor Mike is great with kids in the evenings and adults during lunch sessions. If you're over 45, please come on out so I'm not the only old man on the mat.

This is a great gym with a great instructor. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and keeps everyone moving in the right direction. Both myself and my two kids go here and all of us would be there everyday if we could. The facility is clean and the environment is welcoming. Would recommend for anyone at any level.

I checked this place out for a couple of days while traveling to the area. A buddy of mine (who likes to turtle up too much) took me for class and open mat. Absolutely loved this place. The instructor was excellent. The other grapplers there were genuinely welcoming and you can tell that the culture there is one that emphasizes learning while taking care of each other rather than having an ego. I also got a chance to roll with the instructor, who I probably outweigh by 60 lb., but somehow I still gave him zero problems. That being said, he let me work, I never once felt in danger of being hurt, and he was extremely helpful in fine tuning some of the moves I was doing that needed some minor adjustments in order to make them much more effective. Excellent place. Cannot wait to get back to the area to go hang with those folks again. As far as the facility itself, very nice, super clean, family friendly, great amount of mat space, honestly one of the cleanest and well set up bjj schools I've been to, and I've been to a lot.
