Rianna Yang
"My 6 year old son has been taking BJJ classes for about 6 months now and LOVES it! All the instructors and staff have been more than helpful with any questions or concerns I’ve had and show genuine love of the sport and helping the students grow. I highly suggest to anyone considering taking classes to take the leap!"
Michael Ikata
"Our kids have been going to Chess Lab for over a year now. It’s a great gym! All the coaches are fantastic. Professor Kevin brings an elite level of Jiu-Jitsu teachings to the adult and kids classes."
vernon randall
"This gym has a great professor and staff.The facility is clean and provides changing rooms, restrooms, weights and fitness equipment. I've been consistently coming into this gym for about two months, members of this gym are quite skilled and assist in training a noob like myself. Professor Kevin does a great job at teaching new skills and always provides feedback when myself or another student is struggling with a new move. I've been developing my skills here and look forward to potentially competing. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in the sport."
