Sarah Roche
"I’m loving the Rules of Engagement and teaching my daughter how to be bully proof. She’s is building confidence and the ability to protect herself as she gets older. Proud of her hard work. Loving the welcoming community that Dark Horse has created. Highly recommend to everyone."
Sarah Dunn
"Dark horse has been so good for my son! His discipline and self control have developed so much this year. We love the physical energy he uses and the personal accountability he is learning. He’s determined to earn another stripe and another belt so he practices and practices. Excited about the progress this kiddo has made."

"Never thought I would like Jiu Jitsu. Didn’t wrestle in school. Close to middle aged, overweight, and out of shape. Needed something active during/after Covid. Decided to try Darkhorse and so thankful I did. This place is like a family. They support you in your goals and everyone is supportive when you first start and feel all awkward. There is no pressure to compete but there are coaches to support you if you want to compete. If this was an ultra competitive “gym” it wouldn’t be right for me, but I absolutely love this place (3 days a week, for 6 months now, trying to get healthy and learn some skills along the way are my goals)."
Charles Yhap
