Training at Like Minded Jiu-Jitsu has been one of the best experiences of my life. From day one, the environment was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, you’ll find a community that supports and challenges you in the best way. I learned so much during my time here, not just techniques and strategy, but also discipline, strength, and mental toughness. The training is high level, but it’s delivered in a way that’s approachable and encouraging for everyone. Coach Darrell, the owner and head coach, sets the tone for the entire gym. He’s not only skilled and knowledgeable, but also graceful and respectful with both his team and new members. His leadership creates a positive and focused environment that makes you want to keep showing up and improving. If I had to pick a Jiu-Jitsu gym all over again, I would choose Like Minded Jiu Jitsu every single time. I’m grateful for everything I gained from training here … on and off the mats.

We’ve had a fantastic experience at Like Minded Jiu-Jitsu school! Professor Taylor is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging with the students. The environment is supportive, respectful, and perfect for teenage kids. It’s been amazing to see the growth in confidence, discipline, and focus in my child since starting here. Highly recommend for anyone looking to help their teen build strong values through martial arts.

This academy is one of the best if not the best in the city. If you’re looking to get in shape or get better on the mats this place is perfect for anyone because of the instructors and the students. They have an early morning class at 545am that I attended and it was perfect to get my day started. The school has a wide range of students from young kids to old school people like me. Professor Darrell and professor Paul are retired and they love teaching jujitsu and it shows with their instructions. When you roll with both professors you will know they’ve been on the mats for decades. I guarantee when you try this academy you will have a great experience and you will get addicted.

My boys respect him and look forward for his everyday lessons.
