Freddy
"Stephen has been incredibly welcoming and patient with my three-year-old daughter. He creates an environment where the kids not only learn but also have fun. It’s clear he cares about each child’s growth and confidence. I highly recommend this school to any parent thinking about enrolling their child in jiu-jitsu."
Nikko Vasquez
"Binding Arts JJ is an exceptional school for anyone, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned grappler. Head Instructor Stephen Dobbins is truly dedicated to his students, offering personalized attention and expert guidance at every level. His deep commitment to jiu jitsu is evident in how he continually refines his own skills by training and studying with some of the most decorated practitioners in the world. Stephen focuses on cutting-edge strategies and competition techniques, bringing a winning attitude to the mats that inspires everyone. If you are local to the area or at all interested in training, whether you’re just beginning your jiu jitsu journey or looking to refine your skills, this is the place for you."
Danielle Ventriello
"I've had a fantastic experience at this jujitsu gym! I attended my first women's self-defense class here and felt empowered and supported. Stephen is incredibly welcoming and makes everyone feel right at home. HIGHLY recommend!"
Shalimar DaSilva
"Binding Arts is an exceptional gym for both kids and adults. Both Stephen and Billy are great professors who push us to better ourselves and children. I have 3 kids in Jiu jitsu so far and they love it. My 2 eldest have done competitions already and love how confident they have become since joining Binding Arts. Their adult classes can work for any adult because they have early morning or late evenings. My kids have fun while learning moves and are always excited to show me the moves they learn on me and husband. Their schedule can fit most parents because its after school for kids varying their age or experience. There is jiu jitsu certain days and the other days they have fitness classes to keep them focused and build confidence in their body and health. I know after trying them out for yourself or your kids you will sign up."
