"Was in town for work only had one day to train. Called, and Gary answered the phone himself. Explained the classes and was very welcoming. Hot to the gym, and WOW doesn't do it justice. First class gym and instruction. I traveled all over the world and so far this is the best gym I've been in!! Thank you professor Gary."
Brian Cutts
"Had a great time swinging by the Charles Gracie Reno location. We had a good time going through Triangle Submission in their PM class. Thank you Jeff for the good rolls!"
Zoe Miller
"Fabulous instructors, fabulous people to roll with. They are so welcoming! It seems that there are a ton of highly competitive fighters here as well. I am getting stronger - including mentally as well. As a fairly small female new person, I feel safe. People are being careful with me and each other. 11 stars!"
