The gym itself is clean, well-equipped, and has a great vibe that makes you want to come back for every class. If you’re looking for a place to train, build confidence, and improve your Jiu Jitsu skills, I highly recommend stopping in for a trial. You’ll be in great hands! PS: Several members commented 25-35 minutes for training which says a lot about the quality of training and culture offered.”

“I am new to La Vernia. I called in and the phone was immediately answered. The owner was so respectful and cool. Made me feel welcome and included. They explained the process and fees. They let me watch a class. Everyone was absolutely awesome. I was so impressed I signed right up. The prices were so affordable. I have never done BJJ so it was so cool that they were so ready to explain how things work. Especially for such a small town like La Vernia. Im a veteran so I also loved that a lot of them are veterans as well. I could immediately feel the brotherhood. It was also so cool to see such cool young respectful kids having fun being challenged. Even all the people I met there were really cool. So I’m extremely excited to enjoy the journey with a brotherhood. Just could not be more grateful. 😃”
