I was in town for a cooking competition and had my Gi with me. This was one of the most challenging gyms of my entire Jiujitsu Experience. We learned some wrestling style arm drags into single leg takedown. I'll definitely be incorporating some of this into my game. It was a pleasure to train here. I'm very thankful for Coach Salter and his students for the warm welcome. The rolls were tough. It's obvious everyone here is very competitive. A very humbling experience, I learned a lot from this gym. I was blown away. I was getting shredded by basically every belt level. Very fun. One thing to note for people from out of town: I chose to walk there since it was only about 3 miles and this area of town is not walk able at all. Mostly car dealerships and sidewalks are not really a thing.

Solid gym. High quality instruction, great talent, competitive environment, humble grapplers. If you live in the Wilmington area, I highly recommend that you train at Salty Dog. If you don't live there, I highly recommend that you visit to train there.

Started in June of last year! John has made it easy to want to keep coming back to the gym. I’ve met nothing but hard working and respectful athletes at Salty Dog. I highly recommend everyone at any level to stop by.

My son (6) and I really enjoy this gym. John and his team are knowledgeable, patient and all around good people. My son absolutely loves jiu jitsu and almost never wants to miss a class. We can’t recommend Salty Dog enough!

I joined this gym two weeks ago with 0 experience in Jiu Jitsu. Everyone there has welcomed me with open arms and it has been a great experience thus far. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
