What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Alibek Mustambayev

"I absolutely love training at BJJ Lab! The coaches — black and brown belts — are not only highly skilled, but also incredible human beings who lead with respect, humility, and a genuine passion for teaching. Their methodology is focused on technique and precision, making it ideal for practitioners of all levels. One of the things I appreciate most is the diversity of the community — people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and professions come together here, united by a shared love for Jiu-Jitsu. The environment is intelligent, friendly, and welcoming to everyone. I train here with my two children, and it’s been an amazing experience for our whole family. The prices are so affordable that kids can train 6 days a week for just $120 a month, which is incredibly rare to find with such quality instruction. The mats are always clean, there’s plenty of space, and even when I miss class, I can still watch the training online through a secure-access webcam — a huge bonus for keeping up with learning. I come here to reset my mind, escape the noise of everyday life, and focus on improving my BJJ game. Truly grateful to be part of such a special, inclusive, and respectful community!"

Megan Tillotson

"We have absolutely loved BJJ LAB. The coaches are excellent—skilled, kind and communicate well with kids. Our son recently started (two months of classes) and he really enjoys the warm, welcoming environment and has learned a lot of new skills. He looks forward to class. We have been pleased with how attentive the coaches are to all students in the class. Highly recommend!!"

Joshua Chan (JoshArt)

"I've started training at BJJ lab for about a month now and have great experience at BJJ Lab! Coaches are professional and people here are nice and willing to help you out if you're stuck with your moves. Lessons are generally an hour long and coaches will break down moves for you to make sure you get the techniques down. If you want to further improve your skills, you can also stay and join the sparring session where you can roll with other people and see where your skills are at. Would highly recommend BJJ lab to anyone and especially to people with no experience. They have white belt classes here that are designed to teach you BJJ fundamentals and get you up to speed with everyone else. Again, can't emphasize enough how nice people are here at BJJ lab and you just feel welcomed the moment you walk in. Start your BJJ journey here!"

Sydney Allen

"This is your sign to make BJJ Lab your new jiu jitsu home!! I signed up at this gym knowing it would be short term, and I had no idea that in the short time that I trained here I would gain a family! BJJ Lab trains hard while fostering a respectful safe place for everyone to learn and train! The best part about this gym are the people— truly some of the most kind, accepting, and approachable people you’ll ever meet. I promise you won’t regret any time you spend learning jiu jitsu and making friends here!"
