What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Garrett G
"Marty (owner and head instructor) is the real deal and it’s no surprise Adayama has grown so rapidly. He is both technical and methodical in his teaching and he genuinely cares about each student’s development. The folks that train here (shout out to my 5:30am crew) are like family. I truly love this gym and cannot recommend it enough."
Jon Berntsen
"I’m incredibly grateful to have found Adayama to begin my BJJ journey. I’ve been wanting to join a martial arts gym for years, but most were too far from home — so discovering this spot was a game-changer. I decided to try the free trial, and by the end of that very first week, I knew this was the place for me. Professor Marty creates a welcoming environment where you feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow. He teaches in a way that’s clear, patient, and easy to follow — no matter your experience level. The community here is just as inviting. Everyone is respectful, helpful, and a lot of fun to roll with. If you’re thinking about trying BJJ, I can’t recommend this gym enough. Come by and give it a try, you won't regret it."

"Can’t say enough about this place. Amazing community feel, great training partners and intense technical curriculum. Lead by Professor Marty, jujitsu is for everyone. You want to get in shape or want to learn how to handle yourself in a hand to hand combat situation. This is the place for you. Your Kids love it, they will think they are having fun while learning life lessons. Join today!"
Tyson Abbo
"This place is very impressive. My children go here, and so do I. Marty, the Black Belt Instructor, reminds the kids every class that safety is first. He emphasizes that it’s your responsibility to keep your partner safe and not hurt them. When you give a high-five and a fist bump, it’s a promise to protect your partner. He’s a great instructor. My kids love it and are always asking when they can go back. I bring them as often as I can. For the adults. Marty is patient and will meet you at your skill level. He’s really a class act. Highly recommend Adayama Jui-Jitsu."
