Kathleen Nicosia
"I joined through a promotional offer that included a one-month membership, which provided excellent value. Mark is a solid teacher. His focus on strategy and the trial-and-error learning process made for a well-rounded experience. The daily BJJ journal was a particularly helpful tool, allowing me to get into the right mindset before class. Overall, it was a great experience, especially for a beginner."
Nesta Hayward
"WORTH THE DRIVE! Fantastic place to train! Top notch coach and friendly environment."
Brett Milano
"Good place to train. I actually trained with Mark before when Chuva was located in Garner, but this new location is much better. There is a lot more space and room for growth. The mats are nice and comfy."
Nathan Price
