What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Gary White

"I usually don’t do reviews but, this gym is legit! I also could not wait around to do this review. I dropped in to train BJJ while in the area. The gym is in a warehouse, which gives it that “welcome to the trenches” feel, which was badass! Chad welcomed me with open arms, and his students were even more welcoming. TOUGH guys and gals that put you through it without that “ego test”. These guys work hard and it shows, super impressed with them all. A lot of them compete on some form or fashion between MMA or BJJ comps. From white belt and above, solid group of individuals. If you live in the area or are dropping by, this should be a #1 go-to gym."

Dustin Smith

"Chad is an excellent instructor. Being a black belt, he really knows his stuff. He is able to explain things in a way that can be applied to any skill level. I worked with Chad 1 on 1 for boxing/striking too. Every week was something new building off previous weeks. Hiring Chad took away the guesswork and saved me lots of time with trial and error trying it on my own. Having an experienced watchful eye helped immensely."

Stanton Tam

"Trained BJJ on and off over the last 4 years and found myself in Sandusky for work. I needed something to do with my weekends and it being a resort town in winter there wasn't too much going on. I found Chad's school and was happy that I did. Everyone I met was nice, chill (no bros), and just interested in training and working out, no egos, no drama, no issues. Chad and all the students were welcoming and it was great getting some rolls in away from home. If I lived in Sandusky I would definitely train here!"

Michael Drain

"Coach Chad was really great! He has a vast knowledge and a passion to share it! The members were professional and passionate. Want an awesome workout, a great experience look no further than Adrenaline Academy. You won’t be let down."
