"This Jiu-Jitsu school is truly unparalleled in my experience. The training sessions are intense and challenging, pushing you to your limits while fostering a supportive atmosphere among fellow practitioners. What sets this school apart is the exceptional instruction from Daniel Gracie himself, a direct connection to the roots of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The environment is welcoming and motivating, allowing students of all levels to thrive. I highly recommend this school for anyone serious about mastering their Jiu-Jitsu craft. It's an authentic and legitimate place to learn and grow in the art of Jiu-Jitsu."

"My 2 kids ages 3 and 7 started training this year right before the summer. The classes here challenge them physically and mentally. They help build patience and resilience. The people here are AMAZING; amazing coaches and amazing peers. Coach Damien and Veronica are so encouraging and supportive. The students here demonstrate competitiveness and teamwork, older kids really try to help out the younger kids. Love the dynamic here."
Christopher Sawicki
"This Gym is amazing!!! I drive 1 1/2 hours to train here because of the level of training offered by top instructors in the Jiu Jitsu world. Daniel Gracie is a great person and well known in the world, Fujita is one of the main instructors there and he is top notch and a great person overall. Veronica runs the desk and is very welcoming to all that enters!! My coach from another gym introduced me to this Jim and I cannot thank him enough!!!"
