What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
David Bostic
"I was traveling through the area on business and dropped in for a class. Adam and his team are top notch and it was a great class. If your passing through or live in the area and want to learn BJJ I highly recommend checking this place out."
Nicholas Orr
"This is a great place for kids and adults. My son (age 5) attends the kids classes at least 3 times a week. This has help build confidence and skill in just a couple of weeks. The other kids in the class are kind and respectful. They also are very welcoming to new students. The adult classes are great as well. Adam focuses on technical aspects as well as real life application. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to break down the moves so they can be understood. Adam also takes the time for questions and is always willing to get down and show you how its done! Great place, highly recommend!"
Yeon Tak Kim
"I am doing road trip from east to west. And i stopped by and there. Professor Arebalo is a very nice guy. Plus, all teammates are so nice and friendly when newbies come to the gym. It is very good training environment. Regarding Jiu-jitsu, Professor Arebalo is very technical. As i know, he has been training BJJ for +20 years. Moreover, all teammates are very passionate and technical regardless of their belt level and training years. I definitely recommend this place."
Larry
"When you learn from Adam you are getting authentic Brazilian jiu-jitsu passed down directly from the founding Gracie's. Welcoming environment for adults and children. My boys and I are long time students and feel lucky to have a place like this in our area."
