What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Christopher Lund
"A beautiful high end facility with passionate teachers that have been in the game for many years. An awesome academy for high level competitors to local families just looking for a positive outlet. I highly recommend this academy if you are interested in learning technical modern Jiu-Jitsu with solid old school Jiu-Jitsu values. Top notch!"
Nicolaides blade works
"Love this place. It's like a workout, a therapy session, and a meditation all in one. I walk out both exhausted and rejuvenated. I'm both more confident and calmer because of jiu-jitsu. After a two hour session, I've given everything I got, and left it all on the mat... pushing myself to that level makes the rest of life seem easier by comparison . Wish I could go every day!"
Nikki Murphy
"My daughter and I stopped in for the Sunday open mat and had a great time! Great rolls, great people, clean facility and tons of hospitality! We will be back!"
Jacob Jolliff
"Went to open mat this past week and it was a great experience. The facility is very clean and set up well. The owner was more than willing to help me with my skills while working together even though I am not currently a member. Everyone I worked with throughout the day was welcoming and helped make it a good learning environment. This is a great gym where the instructors and students make it easy to learn. I definitely plan on going back."
