Joseph Bryan
"The school was clean and the instructor was inviting. I brought my little brother in for his first ever juijitsu class and we had a blast. The instructor was able to break every technique down into something that was easy to understand for the guy the has one day to the guy that has been training many years. I love this school and I will be back when I am in town again. I would highly recommend!"
