“My 5 year old son has been coming to The Mats now for about 7 months, and he loves it! This is the first sport he’s really enjoyed doing weekly and wants to continue with. His fellow buddies are great and they all do so well together. Dr. James (coach James) is great with them and we are so thankful for his work with him!”

“I’ve been training at The Mats with Coach James for several months. His gym is immaculate and hygienic practices are taken seriously. Most importantly he provides a fun environment with top level coaching for all levels. I’m a black belt and I still come away from every practice with new insights into my Jujutsu! If you are new to BJJ then The Mats is the perfect place to see if it’s for you. If you are experienced and are looking for high level instruction come and join us!”

“If you have wanted to try Brazilian Jujitsu, but haven’t started for whatever reason, then start today at The Mats. I started there in Jan 2025 to get healthier and spend time with my oldest daughter. We both love it. On the health side, I’ve lost 15 lbs and 2 inches off my waist. I like the format Dr. James runs - stretch/warmup, then teach an iterative skill then some exercises / rolling. My daughter asks to go which is a first. Highly recommend!”
