Soma Academy Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Centerville Centerville

“Professor Matt Strack is a wonderful instructor with a gift for teaching. The level of detailed instruction from both Professor and Instructor Garrett has been absolutely wonderful for me as a complete beginner. Learning a martial art was something that I really wanted to do, but was extremely intimidated to start. I chose Soma because of the excellent Google and Facebook reviews. After attending my first class and experiencing the extremely welcoming and friendly environment, I knew that I had chosen the right place. I signed up for a membership on my second day. I'm still very new to Soma and to jiu jitsu, but I have definitely found a place where I belong. If you are looking to start jiu jitsu, looking for a new school, or looking for a place to train while traveling - I would definitely recommend Soma! 4.75 year update: I've been training here for almost 5 years now. I couldn't imagine training anywhere else but at Soma. This place is one of my second homes. These people are some of my favorite people. We learn effective jiu-jitsu, have fun, and train safely. If you're looking for a great place to learn jiu-jitsu and self defense, then check out Soma.”

“The main instructors, Matt and Garrett, are fantastic at gearing their lessons toward your experience level, making you feel comfortable, and making class fun. I never expected to love Jiu Jitsu as much as I do. It's a useful skill in terms of self-defense but it is also a fantastic workout. You can tell the owner, Matt, goes to great lengths to make sure you get the most out of class.”

“Can't say enough incredible things about this academy and the instructors! Mr. Strack and Mr. Myers are amazing! This is the best thing for our daughter. She started when she was 6 and is almost 11! She loves it because of them!”

“Great curriculum, facility and instructors. The coaches are always creative and patient with their students, making the classes educational while also having a lot of fun. Highly recommend!”

“Prof Strack and his team are fantastic teachers, especially with children/adolescents. They go beyond BJJ training and focus practical self defense and character development while making the process fun and appropriate to build students’ strengths and develop their challenge areas. It’s a very well run and nice facility with generous and skilled instructors. Highly recommended and well priced. Belts are earned and not treated as an opportunity to price gauge parents (as some “McDojos” are known for doing).”
