What Our Students Say

Mohammed Manhal
"DJJ is an awesome place to train! Coach Danny and Coach Fawaz are great coaches. The classes are perfect for both competitors and hobbyists. The weight room is open 24/7, and they have a sauna too. Great gym for grappling or MMA."
Heather Nicole
"Took a class with my nephew. Two of the coaches were nice and welcoming. It was my first time but my nephew had experience. Not one coach critique our form or gave us advice, everything learn was from my nephew. Great workout though if that’s what you’re looking for. Not sure if It’s because I came to the adult class instead of the woman class, but I wanted to go with my nephew because I was trying to encourage him to sign up as he loves wrestling. Seem like great people but you need prior experience in order to go."

"Huge, clean, professional state of the art facility. I live and train BJJ at a great gym in New Jersey but love the Detroit Lions, so i come to Michigan pretty often: This will definitely be my spot to pay a visit when I want to train a bit while in town for the Lions."

"Trained with Professor Danny around 5-6 years ago and have since been bouncing around gyms due to life. I have to say that Professor Danny and the Detroit Jiu Jitsu System is by FAR the most proven and effective system I have had the pleasure of learning. Professor Danny is a JiuJitsu wizard and built a system of jiujitsu at DJJ that is unique to DJJ and highly effective at the highest levels of competition. Its been years and Ive been training all over in all honesty a year of DJJ is equivalent to 3-4years at any other gym. Highly Highly recommend to anyone who is serious and wants to win or people from far who are gonna be in the area DJJ is a must visit! Oss"
