What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Marcos Gonzales
"Had the pleasure of meeting Coach David at Joco Jiu Jitsu in Smithfield, NC, where I train under Coach Adam. Coach David is an awesome dude—super detailed and easy to learn from. He showed us a few techniques and explained everything in a way that just made sense. He jumped right in to help out and made sure we were getting it right. No ego, just solid coaching. If you ever get the chance to learn from Coach David, you won’t be lost in the sauce!"
Shayna Potter
"I took my 12 year old daughter here and she is absolutely obsessed. She wants to go all day every day. The vibes are great, classes are great, instructors are great. I'm so lucky I found this place and the owner, David Sutton, is 1 in a million. He takes these "black sheep" and herds them to greatness 🙌 I signed all my kids up on an annual membership. Seems kind of stupid not to ... My daughter is happier than she's been in years and that's priceless 💕 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"

"The best gym in brevard! Honestly what can I say David is an awesome coach a great human being on and off the mats , there’s a lot of no gi classes mostly everyday at 7;30 and gi classes plus beginners classes on top of that. Our Friday classes are top notch hard training and there’s a mma program if you are looking to become a pro . Everyone here is friendly and helpful. Martial arts is for everyone! It doesn’t matter you are likely will be doing better than the person who’s sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing. I believe there’s a free trial week ."

"While I haven’t attended the gym itself, I did get to meet Coach David Sutton when he was in North Carolina, & he was nice enough to do a seminar at the gym I train at & is very knowledgeable, I’m sure the gym in Florida is a good place to train jiu jitsu amongst other sports."
