John Frederick
"Phenomenal gym. I’ve trained and competed at a lot of different gyms, and you won’t regret joining this one. Month-to-month membership, no contracts, no required uniform. They’re not trying to take advantage of you. The membership structure is very relaxed. The training is top-notch, with multiple black belts and coaches. If you want to get good, this is the place. But it also is very welcoming to newcomers and people of every skill level. Want to compete? This is the place. Want a supportive, friendly gym for a hobbyist? This is also the place. I give it my highest recommendation; you will not regret joining."
Nicholas Gutsche
"Trained here for a year during the part of my residency in Michigan, top notch training partners and instruction. Dan, Andy, and Jay are all extremely knowledgeable and innovative Jiu Jitsu instructors who care about the sport and the people they train with. There's Judo twice a week to help with some stand up and a wrestling oriented class as well which are extremely helpful for rounding out your overall game. There are also classes offered in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to fit schedules as needed. If you want to explore striking, the Muay Thai training is also phenomenal. Kru taught me a lot in the short time that I worked with him, and the more experienced students were super welcoming. If you're training in the area or looking train, I would highly recommend checking this place out. The instruction is world class and the people are great."
Evan Janik
"Very welcoming community with great coaches who are understanding and patient. Both the BJJ and Muay Thai classes have a good schedule that fits into my routine. No matter your experience level this gym has a lot to offer!"
Jay Lonick
"Simply the best Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai gym in Michigan for all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re just starting or want to compete at the highest levels, you will find training partners and a community ready to be your second family."
