Inverted Gear is a welcoming and warm community. For kids and adults of all fitness levels there is something to challenge you and someone to support you. The place is clean and well maintained. The coaches are friendly and highly skilled. There is so much thought put into the structure of the classes. In short, the atmosphere is about hard work and having fun while learning jiujitsu skills.

I have been training at this gym for over a year. It has been a blessing to be apart of a great Academy. Training partners focus on safety and are a joy to be friends with. Classes are numerous from 6am to evening classes during the week and additional classes/open mats on the weekends. The instructors are phenomenal and bring insight to old and modern techniques. Additionally, IGA host seminars for world champion competitors and instructors. Another added benefit is the gear/apparel company and having gear delivered right to the academy. Hope to see you there!

Coach Alex was an incredible instructor and Inverted Gear Academy offered a unique experience and in my opinion, the best training in the ABE area. I've dropped into most of the local schools and, as a brown belt myself, I recommend Inverted over all of your other options.

I love training at Inverted just as much as the other BJJ gyms I attend. This has become my go-to spot for seminars! They always host quality events, and I walk away with something new every time. 🤙🏼 Hillary and Nelson are incredible instructors. Even though I'm not a full-time student here, they've always made me feel welcome. As a visitor, that kind of openness and hospitality speaks volumes about the culture they've built. The students here are in great hands. There’s definitely something special and valuable at this gym. If you're considering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I highly recommend checking out Inverted. Also check out their gear! So many great options!
