What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Bous Simmons
"My family and I have been training at ADG for the past year, and I can confidently attest that it has been one of the most beneficial decisions we have made. Initially, my husband joined, followed by my 4.5-year-old daughter. I subsequently joined a few months ago. The community at ADG is undoubtedly one of the gym's most valuable assets. From the moment you step onto the mat, you feel a sense of belonging to a family. The atmosphere is supportive, with teammates encouraging and cheering each other on after every roll, making training more enjoyable and less intimidating, particularly for newcomers. Would recommend 5/5."
Christos Konnaris
"I’m in the area for work. I own an academy in Louisiana. I was welcomed by Professor Efraim and his team. They treated me if I were one of their own. I was fortunate to stop by the second day that they have been open in their new location. Beautiful mat space, clean, nice sized dressing room, and very nice staff. This felt like a very family friendly environment and I will definitely be dropping back by."
Ashley Sparrow
"My son’s home academy is under construction and Professor Efraim at ADG immediately offered our academy a temporary home till we were able to get back into ours. Everyone has been exceptionally kind! The training was phenomenal, especially the kids class. Professor included applicable life lessons as well, which we deeply appreciate character building elements. The academy is very nice, clean & the overall feel is calming & peaceful. We felt right at home & we are very grateful for ADG’s hospitality!"
