Chroma Jiu-Jitsu

"We had a great first day at Chroma! I even chit chatted with other parents while I was watching the high energy class and many of them reported improvements in their child's ability to follow directions, respect others, and reduce impulsive behavior. I was impressed with Damien's leadership of the children in the 4-7 yr old class and could tell he was a father himself. He showed the kids respect and kept them engaged the whole time. Thank you! Update: we're 2 months in and I'm still impressed and so pleased with Damien's coaching. He knows every single kid by name, and is so kind and present and helpful. Multiple other coaches are often on the mats helping out so each child gets lots of attention and they are all also wonderful. The environment here is fun, kind, empowering, and well organized."

"Chroma Jiu Jitsu has been an incredible experience for our family. In just a couple of weeks, our son has grown in ways that go far beyond learning self-defense. Professor Damien doesn't just teach proper technique or anti-bullying, he teaches character. Every class includes a "Word of the Month" like confidence, and these values are truly sinking in. Since starting, our son has been making eye contact more, speaking confidently with adults, and even introduced himself to someone with a firm handshake and a smile. It was such a proud parenting moment, and we know it stems directly from what he’s learning at Chroma. Thank you, Professor Damien, for helping to shape not just strong athletes, but strong young people. Your holistic approach is making a real difference!"

"I’ve been bringing my nephew to Chroma for about a month now and I can’t tell you how much it has changed him. He’s been through so much of abuse and struggles with basic things that most 4-year-olds can do. Chroma has helped him come out of his shell. he’s more confident than I’ve ever seen him. The other kids have been so accepting and kind. Everyone welcomed him without hesitation and it’s heartwarming to see how they celebrate his uniqueness instead of making him feel different. Damien and the instructors are amazing. They know how to bring out the best in every child. teaching them to be brave, respectful, and confident etc. while having a blast! I’m truly grateful to have found Chroma and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us here!"

"You often hear the phrase “Jiu Jitsu for everyone” but at Chroma, it’s actually put into practice. The Adults program has attracted some experienced and welcoming people who not only take the sport seriously, but also recognize people are there for a variety of reasons (exercise, stress relief, competition training etc). The classes fit a variety of work schedules, and the classes are informative but also fun. Everyone (even visiting students) have been a pleasure to train with. Big kiddos to the team for creating such a positive, welcoming and fun gym."
