Lee Harris
"Absolutely love this place. The leadership and examples set by Professor Justin and Brooke are unmatched. They relate with the kids and keep it fun putting things into terms they understand. The discipline mentally and physically our child has learned here is priceless and go far beyond the mat. Thankful to have found Avant Garde. If you are wanting to explore something new they have both adult and children's classes learning the sport and art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."
E “Sincere Son of Paul” P
"Great school! top notch instruction, kind students, and a positive atmosphere. Their kids program is very good, my kids love it. It's also nice that the instructors don't tolerate the bad behavior on and off the mats regarding the little ones."
Guy Miller
"I just recently started training here under Professor Justin Rice and I absolutely love it. My main goal was to lose weight but it has turned into really wanting to learn Jiu Jitsu. I have never felt so good about anything in my life. I feel energized throughout the day and look forward to going to the gym to take the next step. Professor Justin is an excellent teacher and an expert in his craft. He breaks things down so anyone can understand it. Every other student I’ve met so far has been friendly, encouraging, positive and supportive. If you’re looking to find a great Jiu Jitsu academy this is the only place in my opinion."
