"Freeport Martial Arts has a great instructor, John Garvins, who is passionate about teaching all kinds and ages of people. It’s a great place for beginners, even with zero experience. Our entire family enjoys going all week to exercise, burn energy, combat stress, and have a social outlet. The space itself is relaxed, clean, and calm, but it’s also a great group of people who will make you feel comfortable and welcome. Jiu Jitsu has a laundry list of benefits that can be utilized for you or your child’s entire life, as a lifestyle with a built in community. This is a perfect place to start that journey!"
