"Very friendly and safe culture. Instructor Joe is really good at what he doss and have a plethora of knowledge in BJJ and other martial arts which also translate well for self defense. Worth a visit."
"My son has been attending classes for about 2 years with Joe and he loves it. Joe is a great instructor who makes class fun while the kids learn functional techniques. I have been a student in the Women Empowered program for a year and love the confidence it has given me. Joe and the other students are a welcoming and fun community."
"Joe has a very easy way with teaching that comes across at once as both an expert and a patient communicator. This gym is unlike any experience I have had with martial arts. Very welcoming and inviting environment for kids and all levels of adults. No ultra aggressive behavior to be seen. Plenty of knowledgeable and professional instruction here. 10 day free trial speaks to their belief in their process at the gym and their faith in their instructors. Count my family in as we will be attending regularly."
"The Gracie program is great but when it's paired to a top notch instructor like Joseph Lilly, you know you've stumbled on something amazing. The structure of the program, the relaxed and cooperative atmosphere, the quality of the instruction, coupled to Joe's relentlessly friendly and positive attitude and his attention to detail, have made for a remarkable learning experience from day 1 and I'm hooked! I know I will be training under Joe for many years to come. As such, I would recommend this to any one, regardless of age or experience; not that it would be a gamble since the first few sessions are free!!"
