I love the all women's class. Tara is an incredible instructor who is always there to help. She gives excellent feedback and never makes you feel bad if you can't get a certain move. Highly recommend!

Summit is a fantastic gym for anyone wanting to start Jiu Jitsu or resume their training after a break. Stephen and Tara create a very positive and welcoming atmosphere. If you want to start Jiu Jitsu but are concerned about aggressive coaches and training partners, worry not. Everyone here is considerate, respectful, and qualified.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at this Jiu Jitsu academy. Coach Stephen is an exceptional instructor—knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel comfortable and at ease, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Stephen has a rare talent for breaking down the complexities of Jiu Jitsu in a way that’s easy to understand for both kids and adults. He’s especially great with children—assertive when needed, yet always patient and encouraging. My kids absolutely love coming to class, and it's clear they're learning not just technique, but also confidence and discipline. If you're looking for a positive, supportive environment to learn Jiu Jitsu, this academy—is truly top-notch.

Great place, friendly, welcoming. Instruction was awesome and really helpful. Technical instructors, perfect place to get started on Brazilian jiu jitsu or pick it back up. Definitely recommend.💪💪 If you don’t have a GI they’ll let you borrow one or they do no-gi as well.

Dropped in for a no gi class with my boyfriend while on a road trip and had a great time! Lovely spot with great vibes!! Good instruction in class and great rolls! The gym is clean and in a nice spot. Would definitely come back! Whether you have trained before or are looking to get into jiu jitsu, you should definitely come here! Tara and Stephan (owners) are awesome people and make you feel right at home :)
