Tribal Society Jiu-Jitsu

“My son comes twice a week. Tuesdays & Thursdays. We absolutely love this place. Shawn is an amazing teacher. He is so kind to the kids and loves to joke and play with them. I’ve been recommending it to all of my friends. If you’re looking for a great way for your children to learn respect, patience and controlling their emotions this is it! Adults as well”

“I've been a competitive athlete all my life in multiple sports, and training at Tribal Society was probably the best athletic experience of my life. Shawn has a very rare skill to be able to simultaneously train people at a very high level and raw beginners at the same time. Shawn focuses on teaching the underlying principles of the sport, not just random move after random move. He wants you to be able to figure out for yourself in a tricky situation what to do because you understand the basics underlying the sport. And Safety! Safety is the key word of this gym. They don't just say it, they live it. Keeping you training partners safe is the focus of every session. This isn't just about one guy, every member of the gym is respectful and focused being the best they can be but also making sure every one can stay injury free and return for next week's session. Also, the location is so amazing, it's hard to describe. It is in the wilderness and probably has the best views of any gym in the world. Don't miss this gem of a training center.”

“Shawn is an amazing instructor! I came in with my 3 young kids having zero Ju Jitsu experience, and it was the best first experience. My kids felt confident with how he taught. He was very patient while being very professional and good at communicating the goal of the moves he was teaching. I look forward to continuing business with Shawn at Tribal Ju Jitsu.”

“Shawn taught a fantastic self-defense class for our Homeschool Co-Op this year. We had about 30 kids from 4 years old up to 15 and he managed to keep them all engaged and excited while also teaching them self-defense maneuvers, strategy to deal with bullying, and some of the basic discipline that is central to Jiu-Jitsu. It was amazing and I cannot recommend him highly enough!”

“Great little academy in a small, quiet mountain town. Shawn really cares about his students and is keeping the legacy of tough, old-school jiu-jitsu alive. A very clean and well-designed academy, excellent place to learn and train!”
