"I've been attending classes for over a year and I only have positive things to say about this place. The instructors are knowledgeable, kind, and committed to helping everyone learn. It also makes a huge difference to be able to work with quality people you can trust, and this community is in no short supply. There's a variety of classes to choose from besides BJJ, and they're also well worth a try. I highly recommend this place to both the new and experienced."
