What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
John McCowen
"Amazing group of students. I was just traveling through and wanted to get in some training. John was very welcoming and BJJ knowledgeable. Students were very respectful."
Joe Metarko
"John is a great instructor with a lot of experience. The gym is clean, organized and plenty of mat space. He has kids classes for gi and no gi as well as adult classes for Gi, No Gi and kickboxing. He has hosted outstanding Jiu-Jitsu seminars. I Highly recommend you check it out."
Tanner Heffner
"Great coach who pays attention to everyone to make sure we pick up what's going on. If someone isn't understanding something, John goes out of his way to try to find another way to explain it. Top notch instruction and a top notch gym. Never a shortage of people to roll with. John has created a great culture and the people are great."
Regular Guy
"Great culture, in a clean and safe gym. The instructor, John Clark, provides thoroughly explained techniques in a low-stress, friendly atmosphere. This is NOT one of those "everyone is a tough-guy" gym, where every training session is a possibility to get injured or in a fist fight. The rolls are heavily supervised by the instructor, and each of his students demonstrates a palpable "we're all here to learn and make each other better, together" attitude. If you've never trained before, this is the place to start because you'll be raised right. If you've been training for years, this is a great gym to help your game find another gear."
