Pittman Jiu Jitsu

“Started training at Pittman Jiu Jitsu almost 2 years ago with 3 of my young boys (ages 4, 7, 9 at the time). Immediately I was impressed with all the instructors and staff. Their curriculum was great and age appropriate for all of us. Similar to a Bible study or church on Sunday, what I learned in the adult classes was scaled all the way down to the youngest children which led to great discussions in the truck on the way home and throughout the week. Respect for self and others is not just taught here; it’s a prerequisite. I’d give a 5-star rating on the Jiu Jitsu and Martial Arts taught here alone by Professor Pittman and the staff, but the discipline exemplified and honed on the mats is what will keep us coming back. Pittman’s is helping me raise strong men who know self-control and who will be contributing members of our community for decades to come.”

“Pittman’s (Academy) jiu-jitsu is something we have been looking for a long time! Our son was having troubles in school (paying attention, manners, etc.) and ever since day ONE all his troubles have gone away! He’s more focused as well, his teachers and family have noticed a huge change. Our son gets extremely excited to attend for lessons! The instructors are amazing! They know how to engage and teach every age, which is a tough thing to do, but they all work as a team and manage it very well! The facility is clean, well kept, and everyone there makes you feel very welcomed. Thank you Pittman Academy!”

“He doesn't make you earn your belts.. if you have the money to pay you get belts. There are not enough teachers for the amount of students. Not a good place to learn. My son went to him... they ignored him.”

“Professor Pittman and his instructors have been amazing with our son. You can tell they all care deeply about the people who attend, and they aren’t just a number. They go out of their way to check in during the week and make sure he is doing well and enjoying learning. Our sons confidence is building, and he always looks forward to going to class. I personally enjoy listening to Professor Pittman give his inspirational messages while everyone is stretching before class. We looked at a few other places before choosing Pittman (thank you, Chief Guerra for the heart to heart over the phone before we even stepped inside! I was ready to throw in the towel) and were disappointed to say the least. I am so thankful we decided to send our son here! I encourage anyone new or experienced to check it out!”

“Honestly(and this was roughly a year ago), ran into some of the instructors at the mall. It's been some time since I last done any sort of sparring or martial arts. I thought it would be a good thing to join into. And at first, it kind of was. Except for how pushy they were about me joining. Very very pushy and almost predatory with no room for thinking it through. I ended up taking a few classes and came to the conclusion of ending things. What really sold me on ending it, was how I was talked to. It was disrespectful and condescending. It could have been a good place but with the practices going on, I had to skedaddle.”
