Richard Thompson
"I was in Minnesota for a family vacation and dropped into Bemidji BJJ for their Saturday open mat. I was mightily impressed with the level of their jiu-jitsu game and was even more impressed by the friendliness and welcoming attitude of the guys. I wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone wanting to learn jiu-jitsu."
