What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Nathan DeLuca

"Walking through the doors of Fresh BJJ has been one of the most positively impactful decisions in my adult life. I felt welcomed on day 1 and the dojo quickly felt like home. Professors Fresh, Rick, and Kory are extremely knowledgeable and relay the information in a precise and complete way that allows you to grasp the concepts easily and even passively. I look forward to every day I train here and I’m excited to continue my journey with professor Fresh. In addition there are brown and purple belt instructors with vast knowledge and varying styles to help you mold your own style over time. I should also add that the establishment is cleaner and more thorough in hygiene than any place I’ve ever trained, including commercial gyms. The skills I’ve gained in jiu jitsu throughout my 2 years here have helped make me more resilient to life’s challenges, and I have no doubt that the reason is the instructors and teammates I’ve been blessed with."

Krzysztof Pennar

"This is an amazing school. Instructions are the real deal. You will learn excellent jiu jitsu here. It's also a very welcoming place where it feels like family. Learn together roll together. I love this place."

Andy Balogh

"We are very happy with our son being a part of Fresh Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It has made him tougher, more confident and smarter. We love the teaching of self defense and how Sensei works with all of the students, no matter what level they are, to make sure they are using proper technique. I would, and have, highly recommended the kids class to everyone considering joining."

Gina Diakonov

"I recently completed a women’s self defense course with Professor Fresh and was really impressed! I’ve taken several courses over the years and found a ton of value in the material and defensive moves that were taught. We talked a lot about the mindset before getting started to prepare ourselves for the physical portion. I appreciate the number of instructors present - it allowed for clear direction and the opportunity for a ton of repetition. It was work and it was worth it. I plan to take the second course! Thanks Professor Fresh and Team!"
