"I train regularly in Colorado. I was in Wilmington visiting family an and did a couple of drop in classes at Ethos. The Fascility was clean and well maintained. It was a very friendly environment and students had great technique with great control. Instructors were explained techniques well and were really helpful. Overall a great experience, I highly recommend the gym!!"

Andy Baggett

"5 stars, highly recommend This is a safe, family-friendly, clean and well maintained place to train. All of the instructors provide great technique and the gym has an overall good vibe. Everyone trains hard and you’re likely to get smashed but nobody is out to hurt or injure anyone. Great place to train. If you’re traveling through town these folks allow drop ins and can provide loaner gis if needed. Awesome gym, highly recommend checking them out!!!!"

Abi Anbarasu

"Joining Ethos Jiu-Jitsu has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From day one, I was welcomed into a community that feels more like a family than just a group of training partners. The instructors and fellow students are incredibly supportive, creating an environment where everyone can grow and thrive together. Beyond the technical skills, This gym has taught me invaluable lessons in self-defense and has significantly boosted my confidence. The training is challenging but rewarding, and it has equipped me with the tools to handle myself both on and off the mats. I’ve gained not only physical strength but also mental resilience. Ethos Jiu-Jitsu is more than just a place to train, it’s a place where you can find camaraderie, support, and a true sense of belonging. I’m grateful to be a part of this amazing community, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to train and learn the art of Jiu Jitsu"

Michael Flanagan

"My family and I were in oak Island for a week and after one class here I willingly made the 40-minute one way drive to train a couple times while on vacation. First impressions were super clean facility, huge weight room, nice locker room and showers. Took classes from both Andy and Tyler and both were highly technical, friendly, and attentive. All the students in the gym were friendly , encouraging me to come back and train, then all the rolls were tough, technical, and controlled. Highest recommendation to anyone in the area!"
