What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Arron Diedrich
"We've really enjoyed our experience here at Fellowship Jiu-Jitsu. We have younger kids in the 430 and 530 classes and it has been exciting watching them grow in confidence and ability. The coaches area outgoing and encouraging of the students. We also appreciate that Coach Werther and Thomas dedicate their Saturdays to coaching the kids at the local tournaments. If you are looking for a gym that focuses on development, technique and discipline, hands down I'd recommend Fellowship Jiu-Jitsu."
Joel Gandara
"Have trained here when I'm visiting Sarasota. Great academy, great instructor (Coach Werther), and training partners. Look forward to visiting more in the future."
Digital Sauce
"I’ve been training here for over 1 year. When I started I was completely new to BJJ. Werther and Chelsea make all newcomers and seasoned veterans feel welcome. Instruction is detailed, thorough and helpful. The focus on applying BJJ not just to competition but also to real life scenarios and self-defense is valuable to me. We work hard, but honestly feels like play the entire time! There’s also a full time women’s and children classes so everybody can participate and get better. I highly recommend for folks interested in exploring BJJ this academy!"
David P
"Fellowship Jiu Jitsu is a great gym. Would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a home gym in the area or just visiting. I spent a week training there on a visit to Sarasota and enjoyed the environment that Coach Werther has created. He’s a very technical coach and prioritizes safety in the training room (which I appreciated). I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town! Thank you for a great week of training."
