Joshua John
"I’m new to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and this place has been incredible from day one. The instructors are top-tier — they genuinely care about your progress and make sure everyone gets the attention they need. The vibe is super welcoming, and you feel like part of the team right away. One thing that really stood out to me is how transparent they are with their pricing. It’s all clearly laid out on their website, which is so refreshing compared to a lot of other gyms that keep their rates hidden. Overall, it’s an amazing environment to learn, grow, and train. Couldn’t recommend it more!"
Conor McJannett
"The instructors here do an amazing job at creating a really comfortable and fun environment for learning and practicing self-defense! Whether you’re looking to brush up on some fundamentals to protect yourself, or you want to enter the competitive scene in martial arts, these guys are the pros. I highly, highly recommend this gym."
Diego M
"Great place to be, very accommodating to all skill levels. Instructors are great, they take the time to get to know you and how to improve as a fighter. It may be overwhelming at first to new people, but trust this a legit gym and you will get better if you put in the time. Highly recommend CSG, can't wait to go back."
Dinitha Caldera
"My experience with this class has been amazing. The instructors are very good and they teach very well. Highly recommend it to anyone that is interested in learning martial arts and isn’t sure of where to start"
