What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
EM SUTTON
"Visited from Springfield, MO with a group of five and were welcomed by everyone at Cavalo. Professor Zach spent time with each of us and provided individualized instruction for each of our games. His gym is very clean with excellent mats for rolling. His brothers, Levi and Ezra, were also there and provided guidance and assistance with technique and strategy for each of us. We had a great experience and will be making another trip to learn from Zach and everyone else at Cavalo. Would recommend this school for your BJJ game no matter where you are in your journey!!"
Chris Mcconnell
"I was in town for work and was able to drop by and work in with the guys. Plenty of knowledge and comradery to take advantage of and have a good time. Started the class with warm ups drilled a few take downs and then opened up and got some rolls in! I would highly recommend stopping by and trying something new if you have never jiu jitsu because everyone is very friendly."
Ivan G
"I had the opportunity to drop in to a class while traveling for work. What an amazing school with a very knowledgeable professor, great students, and a clean environment. They welcomed me with open arms and allowed me to train with all levels. A safe environment for either newbies or well rounded skilled practitioners. Thank you for the opportunity to train with your team! 🙏"
