What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Grant Jones
"Stopped in for an open mat while I was in town on vacation, and Brandon and his team were super welcoming. They have a friendly atmosphere and everyone I rolled with was tough! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get started in jiujitsu or looking for a place to roll and learn while visiting. Will definitely be stopping in again next time I'm in town."
Ryan
"Absolutely incredible gym! My wife and I were passing through town and were welcomed with open arms. The atmosphere was inviting, and we immediately felt like part of the family. The instruction was top-notch—both professional and detail-oriented—making it clear that this is a place where students truly grow. If I lived locally, this would hands down be my home gym. My only regret is not being in town longer to get more training in. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality BJJ and a great community!"
Ashley Woodfell
"I personally don’t practice the sport but I have watched Brandon coach for the past several years while my husband has trained beside him. Brandon as well as his wife Jess is very welcoming and Brandon is very knowledgeable as well as passionate about the sport. Highly recommend this location if you live in or around the area or if you are just pass through!"
Gene Neal
"Top notch. Our son has been in youth classes in AIBJJ since they opened. Brandon is an outstanding instructor, teacher & overall mentor. He is very passionate and supportive to the individual needs of the students. Overall atmosphere is fantastic and always a positive environment to be. Grateful to have an academy like this locally for our son to learn from."
