"My family and I have been training at Ferro Academy for a couple years, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and supportive. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated to helping students improve, no matter their skill level. The classes are well-structured, with a perfect mix of technique drills, live rolling, and conditioning. What I love most is the focus on fundamentals with a healthy mix of advanced technique. They’re always there to provide feedback and ensure you’re progressing. The community at Ferro Academy is one of the best parts. It’s a tight-knit group where everyone, from white belts to black belts, trains with respect and camaraderie. There’s a real emphasis on building each other up, and I’ve made some great friendships along the way."
"I have not met the owner in person but just merely inquiring about setting up a trial class for my son was met with quick responses, flexibility and obvious love for what he does and his desire to share hisbpassion with others. I can not wait to start this journey with my son. Will update I'm sure on how amazing my in-person experience will be with my son as after speaking with Mr. Ferro I got nothing but good vibes."
"My son and my husband have been training at Ferro Academy for years. It's a great gym, everyone is very friendly. The kids classes are great. I recommend anyone interested in checking out jujitsu come in and try a class."
"I just finished my first week of classes at Ferro Academy and I can’t recommend it enough. Professor Ferro and the extremely welcoming community here truly encourage and motivate you to keep showing up and improving. I’m so happy I found this special place! Thank you!"
