Burning River Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

"Burning River BJJ is a wonderful place to train. Ante & his coaching staff are well educated, friendly, & extremely attentive / careful with all students (kids & adults), ensuring the "vibe" in the room is always positive and supportive. Accordingly, the people who train at Burning River tend to be of a similar ilk. My daughter & I have trained w/ Ante & his team for the past 4 years (I've been training BJJ for 10+ years & wrestled before that) and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I strongly recommend Burning River BJJ for anyone who is looking for great instruction and a supportive atmosphere."

"I started Jiu Jitsu 6 months ago with my best friend not realizing the impact it would have on me and how much I would truly love it! I give a huge thanks to the incredible instruction of Ante and the best community that comes with burning river. The atmosphere is welcoming, with people who are there to support you through your journey, (I am a clean freak) and the gym is always very clean and sanitary especially on the mats which is so important. It does not matter if you have any prior experience in martial arts, I had absolutely none coming into it, but good coaching makes the world of a difference in one’s comprehension, true understanding, and being able to follow through with the instruction. Burning river and the people I have met through learning this sport is not just a place that I train or people I train with, but a community of extended family now and a place I can call a second home that I am so grateful for!"

"Burning River Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu offers a transformative experience, fostering growth both on and off the mats. Under the guidance of Professor Ante for the past two years, I've undergone significant development as a student, acquiring new skills and a deeper understanding of the art. As I continue to learn and refine my abilities, I've found a sense of purpose by helping coach the kids classes and sharing the experience with the next generation. Many are deterred from starting jiu-jitsu for self-defense, believing they must already be in peak physical condition. The most important reason to begin training is the belief you are worthy of protection. We all start as beginners embarking on this journey, I encourage everyone to come and experience the benefits of jiu-jitsu for themselves. Come train!"

"I became a part of the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu community before I ever trained. I never felt like an outsider when it came to the community Ante created for his students when my husband began training. Eventually, I gave it a try. While I learn more than I win, Burning River BJJ and Ante Dzolic have become family over these last 10+ years. I am so happy to be a part of this and always hope more can experience the greatness that BJJ provides for mental health, physical health, and community."
