What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Coltan Fotheringham

"Crossroads white belts smash other gym's blue and purple belts. You are seriously missing out on your full BJJ potential by choosing other gyms over Crossroads. Dustin teaches in a very structured manor, which makes it super easy to learn and retain. Five stars does not describe how awesome this place truly is."

Rudi Hilson

"This Jiu-Jitsu gym is awesome! Our five year old has been taking classes here 3x a week for the last few months. She loves coming & is learning so much. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to jump into the world of martial arts."

Kevin Davis

"My son has been a member of Crossroads BJJ for over a year now. It is one of the highlights of my son’s week. (He voluntarily gives up screen time to go to class, twice a week.) Coach Dustin is wonderful with kids. This is one of the few places that literally trains kids to be more patient and trains them to block out external distractions in order to focus on their own body and own actions. Starting my son in the kids program at Crossroads BJJ, might be one of the best decisions I made in recent memory. I am looking forward to an opportunity to join one of the adult classes when my schedule allows. I highly recommend Crossroads BJJ!!"

Dan Jarosz

"I cannot say enough good things about this place. Firstly, the jiujitsu is of a different caliber here. There is so much emphasis on technic. Dustin is a natural teacher and a very long time black belt that practices what he preaches. It feels like the man has super powers when rolling with him. Everyone feels like family and was extremely welcoming from the very first time I entered. They will show what they know and they will be extremely happy to teach you what they all know."
