What Our Students Say

Kevin Thomas
"I've been training with Boone County Jiu-Jitsu since October and absolutely love the space. The owners/coaches are a great group of people. I would encourage anybody in the Belvidere and surrounding area to go check them out. Jiu-Jitsu is something you can go do yourself, take a friend or take the whole family and enjoy it together. You're guaranteed to meet some great people and have fun."
Markus Smith
"I had a chance to see Jason demonstrate Jiu-Jitsu to us and was so impressed by his teaching style, patience and ability to demonstrated the importance of each move and position. I would recommend his class to kids and adults alike. It is not just the martial art but the teacher teaching it and I believe that Jason is a great teacher."
Mitch Hogan
"Great place to learn and grow! Started out as a kid rolling around with friends in yards to taking it more seriously and have learned a lot. Very family oriented and "family is most important, Jiu-Jitsu will always be here" -Jason Highly recommend, great teaching, great learning, and best of all great fun!"
Steven Hack
"Since joining Boone County Jiu-Jitsu just a few short months ago, I have lost 15 lbs, my cardio/stamina is through the roof, and I feel healthier than I have in YEARS. If you are interested in trying out a fun, thorough, and disciplined exercise/workout, come check out Boone County Jiu-Jitsu! You will not regret it"
