Miranda DeRosa
"Dropped in to try the Ladies class and was super nervous at first but as soon as I walked in the door I was met with welcoming vibes. The instructor was patient and clear in demonstrating the moves. The facility was clean and the energy was great!! Can’t wait to attend another class!"
Stacey Edington
"I am a woman and have been doing bjj for about 3 years. I love Clay and he always teaches technique that is unique, solid, and useful. I can be my fiercest self at this gym and appreciate that. There is a strong female group and all men that train here are safe. I highly recommend broken anvil for anyone that is new to bjj or to anyone that isn’t into murder pajamas. The community is great and you’ll be stronger and have a better game than ever!"
Stephanie Lockhart
"I was visiting town and dropped in for a class. Everyone was so welcoming. There were more women here than at my home gym and their skill level was impressive! I will definitely be back when I visit again. Thank you for having me!"
Kerry Krawetz
"I stopped into Broken Anvil recently for their Ten Round Tuesday. The students and coaches here were all extremely welcoming, friendly, and talented. The rounds were fierce and challenging, but everyone did an amazing job of matching energy and providing a safe environment to train, which, as a female grappler is definitely important to me. Best of all, the vibes are super fun. Definitely go see them if you're in the area, awesome experience all around."
