Kie Bates
"Dropped in for no-gi class and open mat tonight. I have dropped in to many gyms while traveling during my jiu jitsu journey and this was one of top experiences I have had. Great instruction, great people, great jiu jitsu. If I lived in the area this would be my home gym! Highly recommend!"
John Thaxton
"March, 2025 Another great visit, a great group of guys, and some hard rolls if your in the area visiting or looking for a gym to call home I highly recommend! Nov, 2024 Me and my wife were visiting family in the area and stopped in for a class and open mat. Coaches were very welcoming, super nice and clean facilities. We will definitely be back next time we are in town."

"I’ve been coming here for about 6 months. This place has changed my life! Not only did I pick the best place to get healthy and learn BJJ, but I also found a family here. I spent my entire week waiting for the next class. Wes is very knowledgeable and well respected in the community and is an awesome instructor! Come join us!!"
Dustin Morris
"Awesome atmosphere and great mat space. Wes was super welcoming to me being a visitor, and the room was full of great grapplers! I’ll be back every time I’m in town!"
