"We couldn’t be more impressed with this academy. From day one, the instructors have led with patience, respect, and confidence, keeping the heart of the sport front and center. There’s a strong focus on discipline and technique without taking away, which is exactly what we were looking for. My son is not only building skills, but growing in self-control and confidence with each class. It’s a solid, supportive environment that teaches far beyond the mat. I’m so glad we found them!"

"My 15 year old son started working with Deepwater BJJ to expand his technique as a wrestler within BJJ. It’s genuinely one of the best martial arts communities I’ve ever been a part of. Whether you're new to Jiu Jitsu or an experienced fighter, they offer something invaluable—growth, support, and challenge at every level. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, making beginners feel comfortable while pushing seasoned fighters to refine their techniques. The class structure is well-balanced, with clear explanations, practical drills, and live sparring that help students develop confidence and skills gradually. What set Deepwater apart for us is their welcoming environment and focus on technical mastery without intimidation. They also foster a community vibe that keeps you motivated and eager to improve. If you’re considering starting Jiu Jitsu or looking for a place to elevate your game, I highly recommend Deepwater. It’s a place where everyone truly feels like family and the love for the sport is shared among all."
