"10/10. Super family oriented. They push your kids to do better. I watched my son go from shy to confident in a matter of a few classes. The end of class speeches are motivational and family focused. Everyone here is a pleasure to be around!"
"I stopped by last weekend for class and I enjoyed every minute of it. Coach Andre and all the higher belts welcomed me in with open arms and I got some great rolls out of it! The instruction here is fantastic and I would recommend this school to anyone in the area."
"I strongly recommend, my son love it, meet with his new BJJ friends and instructor Allan. That is extremely able to get kids attention and is very kind to conduct the class. Structure is very good There is an area to warmup, two restrooms/dressing rooms, and we are also able to buy some drink’s (water, Gatorade, etc) in case we run out of it during or after training. 😅. Also it is always very clean and organized, really good environment and very knowledgeable coaches."
"This is the ultimate jiu jitsu gym in the west town/west loop area. Andre is a very knowledgeable coach and always helps push you to be better. The other guys were all very welcoming from day 1, I never experienced the awkward moment of not having a training partner and this has been a great community to make friends that actually want the best for you. This gym has greatly improved my quality of life physically, mentally, and socially and it hasn’t even been 3 full months yet"
