McHugh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“Words are not enough to describe how impactful McHugh Jiu-Jitsu has been for us! What a journey it has been so far! The atmosphere at the academy is that of a family - there really is a significant bond among the coaches and students! They do an amazing job of instilling structure in the class and encouraging respect among the children, while still treating them as kids and making them comfortable throughout the class. True balance between focus and fun! They have created a truly amazing place that feels like a second home!!”

“My kids have been training at McHugh BJJ Academy for a year now, and the growth I’ve seen in them both on and off the mat has been incredible. They’ve become so much more confident, focused, and disciplined. They’re are not only skilled but also patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in each student’s progress. The environment is supportive and welcoming, I’m so grateful for the life skills my kids are learning here through Jiu-Jitsu. Highly recommend this academy to any family looking for something that builds character as much as it builds strength!”

“As their mother, I am unsure if my kids have that competitive gene especially with physical sport. We definitely did not put them in jiujitsu for that reason. We chose jiujitsu bc it keeps them active, they gain the tools to protect themselves if need be, they make new friends & have FUN. McHugh HQ really aligns with each of those objectives. But, my two older children just competed in their In-house tournament and they really gave it their all… REALLY focused and worked to the end of their matches. I have to give flowers to their professors, coaches, staff, teammates and fellow parents/family members bc that drive to do well mostly stemmed from the comfort of being at their jiujitsu school where they felt comfortable to lose a match bc if you lose to a teammate/friend, are you really losing? TL;DR: The team at McHugh teach exceptionally well, that is a given…but they foster friendships and build self-confidence.”

“I signed up for a 4 week trial and I am incredibly happy I did. Trying something new can be intimidating, but every single person I have encountered here is welcoming and kind. Even though ju jitsu is challenging, I am eager to go to class in the mornings. I leave feeling a little stronger and more confident after each class. The people around you push you to grow and genuinely care about your progress. I find the coaches to be very knowledgeable and make class fun. If you are considering trying it out, don’t hesitate!”

“Grateful for Professor Tony! My son has sensory processing disorder and is naturally introverted, so starting jiu-jitsu was a big step. He wanted to follow in his dad’s footsteps, but was initially shy…especially when it came to “finding a friend” to partner with. Thanks to Professor Tony and his incredible team of coaches, he’s come out of his shell. His confidence has grown tremendously, and he now looks forward to every class. The support and patience he’s received have made a lasting impact. This is more than just a gym it’s a place that feels like home, and we’re so thankful.”
