The is by far the best gym in the area. When we moved down from Wisconsin we tried all the local BJJ gyms and this is easily the best. The kids program is brilliant and growing every week. My wife has even started as they have classes dedicated to women allowing them to feel comfortable in a new environment.

I have so many positive things to say about Shark Pit that I don’t even know where to start. My daughter was a meek 1st grader that joined when Shark Pit opened at the Sportsplex. She previously went to another facility, but it was not what she needed. At Shark Pit she found awesome coaches that worked well with the kids, made them feel loved and respected. The kids also learned how to show respect in return, have discipline, and push themselves through obstacles. The confidence my daughter gained is astounding. I also feel more confident as a parent, knowing she is/was learning how to defend herself. While we weren’t able to go to Shark Pit during the pandemic, we are excited to return and go to their new location! Take your kids to Shark Pit, seriously! They are all fantastic people and the coaches are amazing! My now 5th grader can’t wait to train and compete again!

Excellent staff. The instructors make what could be intimidating for anyone beginning a combat sport very digestible and ease the client into a very comfortable learning space. Jeremy, Crystal, Rochelle....superb characters to guide an intro this great sport. jw

I cannot speak highly enough of Coach Will and Rochel! They are truly exceptional and have a gift for working with children. They exhibit endless patience and an unwavering passion when teaching, which is evident in the remarkable progress they inspire in their students. All the coaches go above and beyond to ensure that each child learns and develops to their full potential. I wholeheartedly recommend them without reservation.

I love this place. The instructors are very patient and good. Really good comradery. They make everyone feel welcome from the start. It’s a family not a gym.
