What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Cliff Sabroe
"I have been training at Elite since its first year opening. Tom Knox has put together an amazing team consisting of pro MMA fighters, world jiujitsu champions and moms and dads training alongside their kids. The classes are tough, the training is hard (Elite is a competition hungry school with the medals to prove it), but the classes are not intimidating (you will always see advance students helping beginners get better). No egos, no bad attitudes or wannabe "tough guys", just good people who want to get better at the amazing art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Kickboxing, MMA, Ladies Only Classes, kids classes and more! My whole family trains at Elite and could not imagine training any place else."
Dan Ramirez
"Outstanding martial arts academy. My son, daughter, and I train at this jiu jitsu school due to the family environment and high level instruction from Tom Knox. I reccomend this academy to all my friends, family, and the community."

"Me personally I would never train anywhere else. I've been a student of Tom Knox since 2006. It's a family based atmosphere. Proven techniques with champion professors. Not only do you learn a valuable skill,you learn more about yourself and create wonderful relationships."

"Very welcoming since day one! Tom is super great and very nice. I loved the women’s classes on Tuesday nights, the gals were very helpful and helped me even as I struggled."
