What Our Students Say

Ahmad Abdul-Aziz
"I was in town visiting family and reached out about dropping in for a class. I attended a beginner Gi class and had a great experience. The coach and students were all very welcoming, and the instruction was clear and well-balanced with a mix of ground and stand-up techniques. Highly recommend for anyone passing through or looking for a solid place to train."
Justin Halaska
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Black Lotus BJJ is everything you want in a training environment and more. From the moment I stepped on the mats, I felt welcomed and at home. The atmosphere is positive, focused, and driven — everyone shows up ready to work hard and improve together. The coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable, but they take the time to break things down and help you grow no matter your experience level. The other athletes are just as dedicated and supportive, making it a place where iron truly sharpens iron. If you're looking for a gym that pushes you to be better every day while making you feel like part of a family, I can't recommend Black Lotus BJJ enough. -Justin H"
Dina M
"I came here about a year ago after a move and have had an exceptional experience among several schools I have attended. The mats are immaculate, and the place always clean. I have a disability which has caused me to not be welcome at other schools, where this school welcomed me with open arms. Not only have they had a significant hand in my healing, but I feel incredibly safe and accepted here, am treated with dignity, and can’t say enough about the coaches and members who attend. The kids classes are also fantastic, is equally inclusive, and effectively works with patience and attention to every student. I really can’t say enough about the place, except it’s inclusivity, support and lack of ego in the game has been the best I’ve seen. I Highly recommend this place!"
Tim Cantrell
"I have been training here for almost a year and it has been a phenomenal experience. The instructors are some of the best you will find. Classmates are very patient when you are new and helpful at all times. This is a tremendous place to train."
