"I stopped by Blackheart Jiu Jitsu in Jacksonville while I was in town for work. Coach Allen showed terrific techniques, my training partners were all great, and the gym showed tremendous hospitality. If I’m ever back in Jacksonville, NC, I will definitely drop by again. If you’re interested in training Jiujitsu in the area, I highly recommend it!"
