"I enrolled my 12-year-old son at this jiu-jitsu gym under Paris Stanford's instruction, and I'm extremely pleased with the results after just one month of training. The transformation in my son has been remarkable - his confidence has significantly improved, and he's now able to do pushups, showing tangible physical progress. What truly stands out is Paris's teaching approach - he has an exceptional understanding of children's mental states and knows how to connect with them effectively. Paris creates a supportive environment where kids can develop both physically and mentally. My son looks forward to every class, and I've seen positive changes in his overall demeanor. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to other parents looking for a positive martial arts experience for their children. The impact on my son's character development alone has made this investment worthwhile."
"I can not say enough about AOS BJJ, this school is built on true ju jitsu foundations. This school not only teaches great techniques but coach Paris teaches how to conduct yourself as a good person. Coach Paris knowledge in the sport of jiu jitsu is top notch and you accompany that with his unwavering patience and dedication to his school and most important his student. No question goes unanswered and no student goes unattended to. If you want a school where you can find your community, learn the skill of jiu jitsu, and learn a thing or two about improving as a person this is the school for you and coach Paris is the man for the job!"
"Art of Submission is a great gym for all skill levels and Coach Paris is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable instructors you will find. I started training under Paris a few years ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. I encourage anyone who has thought about trying BJJ to come by and try a class."
"This gym has a great schedule, clean mats, and an amazing instructor. Coach Paris is clearly dedicated to improving his students and does an amazing job imparting his vast depth of Jujutsu knowledge to his students in a way that keeps them coming back to the mats. The culture of the gym is welcoming to all whether you are a hobbyist or a hard core competitor. There’s a place for you here."
