What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Kayla Scott
"We are a homeschool family, and were looking for ways to help our son socialize, build self confidence, self discipline, and learn self defense. 144 BJJ has provided all of the above and more. My son has gained new friends, become more confident in himself, and has learned lots of self defense techniques. The owners are amazing! They are some of the most down to earth and genuine people. You can tell they are very passionate about what they do, which makes our family love going even more. We plan to stick with them long term, we are so happy to have such an amazing BJJ gym in our community!"
Charissa Rundle
"Where to begin? This place is truly special. It is not often that you find coaches of this caliber. My son Calintz started wrestling here this past November and from day one he was made to feel welcome. I am so proud of him for his constant progress, but I am also proud that he is part of such a wonderful community of coaches and young wrestlers. We are relocating to a different area soon, but because I think this place is so irreplaceable, my son will be continuing his classes here. I can't say enough great things. "Thanks" is not enough to show the gratitude I have to these folks for my son's growth as an individual and as an athlete. If your child is interested in getting into wrestling or BJJ, pllllleeassee put this place at the top of your list. You won't regret it."
Zac Firesheets
"Can’t say enough about how awesome this gym is! Super clean/sanitary, open concept, mats along the walls, high intensity, and an amazing coach that breaks down techniques in a way you can utilize in all ways possible. Great gym for boys/girls and men/women of all ages! One of my favorite aspects of the experience is listening in on the positive lessons taught to the kids after training in their “Mat Chat” half circle. Highly recommend 144BJJ!"
Levar Omar
"Easily one of the best schools I've been to. The instruction and teaching methodology was absolutely incredible. Coach Angel and his stidents went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. This gym is family oriented meaning it's a good environment if your kids or significant other is waiting or want to watch and the layout is very inviting and comfortable. Hygiene protocol is 10 out of 10, the gym is very clean and put together. This gym is a hidden gem that won't be hidden for much longer."
