A-Side Jiu Jitsu and Fitness, LLC

"One of my son's classmates takes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes at A-side and recommended that we join, too. We did the free trial week and then decided to sign up for more classes. We’ve had such a great experience here! The school is very clean and well-organized. The instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and they strike a really nice balance of being firm but gentle. My son especially loves Coach Alexis and Professor Arman. They make the classes fun while still pushing the kids to improve and work hard. We also love that they play great music during class. The school is competition-focused (vs self-defense), so the techniques they teach are more geared towards that. But it’s not all serious. They do a great job of mixing in games with technique to keep things fun for the kids. They also offer both gi and no-gi classes (my son does both). My son goes three times a week, and the growth we’ve seen in him has been incredible. He’s more confident and focused. Before BJJ, we had tried a few other activities like ballet and tap, but he’d get really nervous trying new moves in front of the class because he was afraid of messing up. But something about BJJ has really clicked with him; he now sees each new move as a chance to improve rather than something to be embarrassed about. It’s a totally different mindset. It’s been such a good outlet for his energy, and it’s helping him build determination and confidence. We’re so happy we found this school — can’t recommend it enough!"

"I cannot say enough good things about A-Side! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and part of the community. The instructors and Professor's are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping each student improve. The facilities are top-notch, always clean, and well-maintained (Music Playlists are dope to). Whether you're a beginner or an advanced practitioner, there's something for everyone here. The classes are well-structured, challenging, and fun. I've seen significant improvements in my technique and overall fitness since joining. What truly sets A-Side apart is the sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among the students and staff. It's not just a place to train; it's a place to grow and be part of a supportive family. Highly recommend to anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu and fitness!""

"my first goal was to not get hurt, my second goal was to learn a combat sport. Amazingly, A-side instructors have the incredible skill of teaching fighting and challenging students to push their limits, while keeping everyone safe. The vibe is welcoming and respectful, but they are tough! I could not be happier with my experience over the last 7 months."
