What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Renee DelBene
"My family and I love 1441 Jiu Jitsu. The program for both kids and adults is excellent. Coach Steve instills the importance of building character and practicing integrity. Beyond learning self-defense, you are learning self-discipline, respect for others, and how to step out of your comfort zone. Through this program our son’s self-confidence has grow tremendously and that’s thanks to both coach Steve and coach Kristin! They are always building their students up, and teaching perseverance. They both are great role models and everyone in class looks up to them! As for myself, I love training in the adult class they offer. I was extremely nervous when I first started because Jiu Jitsu was new for me. Coach Steve and coach Kristin were so welcoming and encouraging. Coach Steve takes his time explaining the why behind the technique, and meets you where you are at! The environment they have built is the reason I keep coming back! I love the challenge and recommend giving it a try! Since starting here, my mental strength has grown and I am forever grateful! Our family is so blessed to be apart of the community here!"

"Coach Steve is so helpful and my daughter's favorite Coach ever! He is strong, disciplined, and extremely knowledgeable. Coach Kristin is such a role model for girls as a strong example of confidence and agility. Together, they have been such a blessing to both my kids. When my daughter started training at 13, she was very timid. Now she is confident, and a fierce competitor. Both Coach Steve and Coach Kristin challenged her in the kids class as well as the adult class. They both have encouraged her to never give up even when it’s tough, but to keep going. It’s been so amazing to watch our daughter grow, not just in strength, but in her own confidence. We also see an improvement in our 10-yr-old son’s attention span, ability to focus on details, and self confidence after going through a trying school year. We are so thankful to have been a part of the 1441 Jiu Jitsu family."
Ashley Weeks
"1441 Jiu jitsu has been such a blessing to our family! Almost immediately, we saw a difference in our kids…greater confidence in themselves, increased awareness of their surroundings, and a more positive attitude! Not only does the program keep your kids active, but the coaches have instilled grit, accountability, and responsibility in our son and daughter. Everyone here, both students and coaches, are always so welcoming and we genuinely love being around them!"
