I was visiting from out of town and dropped in for a class. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Everyone at the gym was incredibly welcoming and friendly from the moment I walked in. The instruction was top-notch, and the atmosphere was both respectful and laid-back. If you’re in the area and looking for a great place to train, this gym is a must. Huge thanks to the owner Justin for letting me do my first ever class.

I dropped in at Rival Jiu Jitsu while I was in town and had an awesome experience. Justin, the owner and head coach, was incredibly welcoming. All the training partners were helpful, and super friendly. The vibe throughout the entire facility was positive, professional, and made me feel right at home. Whether you’re passing through or looking for a gym to call home, this place is a must to go train at. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! Started about 2 months ago with my daughter in the family class and it’s been the best time. Justin is an amazing instructor, does a great job of making it fun for kids and explaining things in a way that’s easy for them to understand. He will also explain more of the technical aspects of things to the adults. The environment at the gym is super welcoming, everyone has been friendly and helpful. You can walk in your first time and immediately feel like part of the group which was awesome being my first time in any kind of martial art. Great price and many classes available, I couldn’t recommend Rival any more! It quickly became my daughter and my favorite part of the week

Rival has experienced instructors and a broad student base from beginners to professionals. Classes are not only fun but also push you to be a better person and practitioner. Whether you are looking for cardio, character development, social groups or self defense this is the school for you. Family and kid friendly as well. Don’t waste your time with another school in the area, this is the best!

Rival jiu jitsu is a great gym to train at, classes are informative and technique is good and clean but also a good place to hang out at. Classes are never dry and boring the atmosphere always feels like it’s a bunch of family together learning seeing who can get the edge on eachother in a fun way. Good gym, good people and cheap prices definitely worth a stop by to check it out.
