What Our Students Say

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

Tony Ebersole

"They require year long contracts which they threaten to enforce legally, regardless of your reasons for being unable to continue attending (except for serious injury or moving a certain number of miles away). You can pay for classes up front or monthly but they do require you to sign a YEAR long contract. This is the only school in the area that I'm aware of that requires year long contracts to attend. The classes are significantly more expensive than any other BJJ / MMA gym in the area. Most of the classes I attended were overcrowded, leading to a generally uncomfortable learning experience. There are MMA / BJJ gyms in Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Elizabethtown that provide significantly better value and don't require year long contracts to attend."

Alan Le

"Training here has been an absolute pleasure. I am not from around here, but was in the area for 3 weeks for work. I emailed them about dropping in to train while I was in town and Chris was very timely and courteous with his response about having me. Though I'm not a regular, they have all been welcoming since I walked in the door. On top of the great atmosphere, the instructors and lessons have all been top-notch; every class I went to, I was able to learn and utilize something new. Simply put, this place is the epitome of the best side of the BJJ community."

Anthony

"Great School I definitely recommend this to anyone that’s looking foreword to competing in Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, MMA or even if you just want a good workout this place definitely make you feel like you’re part of a family. They have patience and work with you this Deep Water BJJ definitely is a second home for me unlike a lot of other schools they give you 30 days free trail you can’t beat that ! if you’re looking for a great school this is the place."

Justin Ogle

"Dropped in from out of town, very welcoming and no fee. Everyone was super chill, no ego and helpful. Very clean and nice mats. Did open mat and 2 classes, the instructors were fantastic. They do lot of drilling and there were no lazy partners, they drilled the entire time. One of the nicest gyms I've come across in my travels."
