Sabens Martial Arts Academy

“Probably the gem of the whole town. Outside of studying, I can really relax here and work on various positions or just get a good sweat going. Great jiu jitsu, great vibes, fun times. Real functional battle tested jiu jitsu is taught here that has always been around, along with embracing the modern trends. Judo, leg locks, wrest ups, etc…. If you play half guard , your guard will be passed here. You can definitely find your people here if you are a jiu jitsu nerd who wants to chat about some random arm in choke or just want to get some scrappy rounds in with a wrestler.”

“I love the environment here I’m a local to the area and my dad grew up with the instructor so this is where we both train. Great instructionals and everyone here loves the sport and is more than willing to help you. STOP BY AND TRAIN you won’t regret it. Both gi and no gi, and striking classes if that’s your thing. Good techniques and good rolls. Favorite part of the week is getting to come in and train with everyone.”

“Amazing instructor's! They live and breathe what they teach. The students bond like family, a family that likes to roll around the living room trying not to break the furniture or trip grandma. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're into McDojo's. But if you truly want to learn, Sabens Martial Arts Academy is worth a 2 hour drive to study under the amazing instructors on staff.”

“Been training here for a year now and always come back. Everyone is always welcome no matter how hard or how often you train. Theres pros and beginners, variety of personalities. There's no nonsense, just a good time with calories getting burned, bonds being formed, legends being created (and lots of laughs if you work with me). Laid back teacher that is always respectful and tolerant. You will make friends and get in shape at the same time!”

“If you're looking for a place to learn how to defend yourself or just to get an awesome workout, then look no further. I started training here in August of 2020 and I have loved every minute of it. Andy is a phenomenal practitioner of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and everyone there is friendly and supportive. Whether it's in the sweltering heat or freezing cold, I guarantee you'll have an awesome time learning jiu jitsu.”
