Visited while in town for work training and had an amazing experience. As someone prepping for a tournament, I especially appreciated the instructor rolling with me after class and helping me tighten up my technique. Great group of guys who genuinely love jiu-jitsu!

I'm a pretty new BJJ white belt who was looking for a place to train while in the area for a few weeks on a work trip. Luckily, I found Tsunami. I was able to go six different nights and was able to train under three different coaches. All of them had vast and unique experiences, but didn't use that to talk down to me or anybody else in the class. They demonstrated moves, and were able and willing to break them down to an almost molecular level to ensure understanding. The place is pristine and the students themselves are welcoming. I will absolutely be back for seminars when I'm able, as well as the next time I'm in town. Do yourself a favor and go learn something from coach Deric or one of his people.

Coach Deric has created the perfect balance of a fun relaxed learning environment combined with a curriculum of proven effective techniques. Truly a team culture where everyone supports each other in pursuit of their goals whether your journey is hours or years old!

Training at Tsunami Academy has been an extremely rewarding experience for me. Through the instructor's breakdown of technique to the combat focused drills, I feel like I am gaining a deeper understanding of the material and it keeps you engaged the whole time. I am currently signed up for all the programs and am having a blast them all!

I came into town for work and was looking to train instead for hanging out in a bar. I called Coach Derek to see if I could train with him and he said absolutely! I came in, the gym was clean and the students were friendly. I got a great lesson from Coach Derek and some good rolls in afterwards. Highly recommend this place to everybody no matter your age or experience.
