What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Alicia McGlynn
"We LOVE Brave Brazilian Jiu—Jitsu! Both of my girls ( 4&6 yrs old) have been enrolled for 7 months now. I have enjoyed watching them gain confidence while having fun and learning to be humble when they are not winning. We especially enjoyed the family culture surrounding the gym. We will definitely be staying enrolled year round and look forward to watching them continue!"
Mathew Lawlor
"We tried out two other local gyms for our young boys before landing at Brave. It's a great atmosphere for kids to build confidence and practical skills for life. Coach Colin is great with the kids, making it a very welcoming and fun environment for the students while at the same time maintaining discipline."
Chris Jones
"We enrolled our 5 year old daughter in their Pre-JJ class, and she has progressed really well over 2 years into their “big kids” class. The coaches here do a great job of balancing fun and challenging the kids with learning the fundamentals. It has always been a friendly and safe place for kids who might struggle with the contact involved with learning."
Stephen Pendl
"My 6 year old has already gained so much confidence after joining here 2 months ago. Been great fun seeing him grow! The classes are really fun and the coaches are awesome!"
