Anthony Morales
"I've been training at this gym in Gardnerville for a few weeks, and it's been great experience . The coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, making it a great place for both beginners and advanced students. The gym is clean, and the community is friendly and welcoming. Whether you want to compete or just get in shape, I would definitely recommend this gym to anybody."
Robert Ward
"Quite simply put the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in all of Minden/Gardnerville. The training and level of instruction is top notch. Unlike some other schools, you will be treated with the utmost respect by Professor Matt Tamondong and other DC Jiu Jitsu staff/instructors. There are no ego's here, only the willingness to learn and improve every single day! Come on in and roll! OSS!"
Yuwen Liu

"I signed up about 2 months ago and I can’t say enough good things about DC Jiu Jitsu. Matt has a top notch gym full of high quality people . My two sons (12 and 8 years old) and myself have been welcomed in and have been loving the training. It’s like family in there.For anyone thinking of giving Jiu Jitsu a shot for the first time like me I say “go talk to Matt at DC” . Tired and sweaty and can’t get enough every time ! Schedules and organization is on point too which is important as a busy family. Matt and his high level coaches will have you hooked!!!"
