What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Leng

"If you are looking for tight knit Jiu jitsu family look no further, discipline, coaching styles, communication, and the families that attend every session and tournaments. This is truly a family and we are proud to be part of it. My son loves Professor Leigh, Coach Matt, Coach Robert, and all the parents involved. Shout out to Miss Renee who is the glue to holding this all together."

David Hall

"Great place to train! Professor Leigh is an incredible instructor with a wealth of knowledge. I’ve been training for a while, and when I came to this academy 3 months ago for a trial, I knew this was my new place because of the family vibe, and the way the classes are taught. Renee is so nice, welcoming, and helpful! She will get you squared away with your membership, any gear you need, or anything else you need help with. Great location and schedule, just a great place to train no matter your skill level. Glad to be part of the CMJJ Denton family!"

Miguel A. Sanchez (Marty)
