Nova Ryu BJJ

“As an older, non athletic woman I was hesitant to start bjj despite being very interested. Coach Jestyn is extremely supportive and encouraging, as are all the instructors. As important, they also are very knowledgeable and provide clear instruction (modifications as necessary) within a safe, respectful and fun environment. Reasonably priced as well.”

“Such a great learning environment from a top tier Coach. Coach Jestyn makes you feel at ease and comfortable on the mats where it’s suppose to be uncomfortable. Ha! But really. He also puts his students health first, sorry if I don’t say it exactly, but when it’s time to roll/spar, you’ll often hear coach say “everyone get to go to work, school, and family tomorrow.” Meaning rolls are meant to be for training, learning, and taking care of your sparring partner. Awesome school, can’t say enough.”

“Can’t recommend this place enough. Coach Jestyn is an excellent instructor with a deep background in martial arts, as a black belt in BJJ as well as in Judo. Classes consist of equal parts of warm up, technique, and rolling / sparring. Instruction is suited for all levels, from day 1 beginner to the most advanced practitioners. Everyone at the school is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and genuinely happy to have another training partner. With the affordability of membership dues you will not find a better place to train. I encourage anyone who has ever been interested in trying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or who is looking for a new school to absolutely check out Nova Ryu!”

“Jestyn works so well with all the kids and it’s been so great watching my son grow in skill and confidence. All the support coaches have so much patience as well the whole team is so great.”

“This is an awesome class for all ages! Coach Jestyn is knowledgeable and dedicated to creating a unique and fun class that is approachable from all skill levels. There is a diversity in what classes cover - from basic to advanced technique. Aside from technique there is an atmosphere of athleticism and an emphasis on health, safety and community. The gym itself is nice and clean and the price point is very good. I would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in the art of Jiu-jitsu.”
