"Sean is a class act. Very welcoming gym and good technique! The little bit I talked to him, you can tell the depth and understanding of his jiu-jitsu. And I always make sure to buy a rashguard from any gym I visit. He sells them at cost! I’ll definitely come back to visit."
"Dropped in and had an excellent experience. Huge facility, well ventilated, quality mats, excellent instructors. Coach Sean is providing top level service and pays attention to all athletes regardless of if they are new or established gym members. Coach Cam Hurd led an awesome wrestling class. Excited to come back to this location."
"I’ve spent my entire life training in martial arts, always searching for the right school. When I found Ascend, it felt like a dream come true! It combines everything I was looking for—practical, no-nonsense martial arts at the highest level, designed to meet any need or goal. The instruction is rooted in real-world experience yet delivered with a personalized, professional touch that makes you feel like the entire school is built around you. From the most experienced instructors to complete beginners, everyone is incredibly humble and genuinely invested in helping you push past limits you didn’t even know you had. It’s a privilege to have such an exceptional school right in our backyard!"
"I’ve been training BJJ since 2009 and I’ve been training at Ascend Jiujitsu since 2021. My only regret was not discovering Ascend Jiujitsu sooner. Professor Sean Stoopman is not only an incredibly knowledgeable and skillful BJJ practitioner but an awesome human being who is very devout and invested in his students. Whether you want to compete or just learn the art he will guide you throughout your journey with the upmost passion. The community here is incredible, everyone is so humble and friendly. Just an all around fantastic atmosphere and I love it."
