We've been with Coach Jay for over 6 years, and he’s been an outstanding coach. He has a great way of breaking down complex techniques so they’re easy to understand, all while keeping the training positive and disciplined. Coach Jay knows how to adjust his approach to fit each student's experience and goals. He connects with his athletes, motivates them, and always pushes them to be their best. If you’re looking for an MMA coach, I highly recommend Coach Jay!

The best thing I ever did was start training BJJ with Jay. He has a great way of taking wrestling and adding Ju Jitsu and boxing to your fight game. I'm 52 years old and still have confidence in the abilities thanks to what I have learned from Mr.Russell

I had a great experience visiting Russell boxing and Jiu-jitsu. It was apparent early on Jay has a wealth of knowledge in both boxing and jiu-jitsu. I got to class a bit early while Jay was giving a few students a boxing lesson. The students were at different skill levels, so I was impressed when I saw Jay meet each student at their particular skill level and appropriately push them each outside their comfort zone, while also being attentive to not pushing too hard. Jay is a natural encourager and it’s obvious he not only has a passion for the sport of boxing and jiu-jitsu, but also for the school to have a positive family like vibe. Students cared for one another and were not just attending for their own improvement, but they also had a heart to see their teammates grow. In my opinion, cultivating that type of atmosphere begins with the instructor. I strongly recommend anyone who is interested in developing their skills in boxing or jiu-jitsu to check out the school. When I’m back in town, I’ll definitely visit again. Thank you Jay and the team for helping me feel welcome and engage in quality training! 🤙🏼
