What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Michael Lewis
"A welcoming and top-tier Jiu-jitsu experience! I had the pleasure of training with Fletcher and Tino through the years and they have always been genuine. They also have amazingly fun and structured kids classes! If you’re in the Southport area definitely check out Blue Phoenix!"
Joe Walton
"I was visiting Oak Island on a vacation and dropped in for a No-Gi class. I felt welcomed and at home. The instruction was thorough, grounded in strong grappling principles, and clearly structured. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a welcoming, professional Jiu-Jitsu gym."
John Conner
"I had a great experience at Blue Pheonix. You never what you're going to get when you drop in, but they were very welcoming. The instructor was very knowledgable and gave me jewels about how to secure problematic submissions. Cant wait until next years beach vacation. Thank you Bob and Dan!"
John Mastromonica
"I was in town visiting and dropped in as a guest. I was instantly welcomed upon my arrival. First thing I noticed is how clean the facility was. Once I stepped in the mat I was treated like I have attended the academy for 10 years. There was exceptional knowledge from the instructors. The only negative thing I have to say about the school is that it’s 3 plus hours from my house. Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely be back to visit and train again!"
