Ethan Smith
"Coach Wallace and the whole gym was very welcoming and respectful. It was my first time there and they treated me like family. Great instructions and he makes sure you know the technique."
Monica Dreher
"My son has been training here for 10 months now, we knew within his first week that he was going to really love it! My husband and I ended up joining as well! Professor Wallace is amazing and leads by example. The Gator Family is very welcoming and knowledgeable and family friendly."
Hector Cuprill, Jr.
"My son has been attending this dojo for the last 4 years. I did martial arts for years (Karate & Moo Duk Kwan) and without a shadow of a doubt Jiu-Jitsu should always be part of your training at any age, so as to be a well rounded martial artist. Coach Wallace is running a terrific school that not only trains your physique, but it also gives you the tools & training for your soul. Blessings to everyone! ~Hector R. Cuprill, Jr., Esq."

"Top notch instruction! I am new to BJJ, and this studio could not be more welcoming and friendly. Coach is very knowledgeable and patient. He will always make sure everyone understands what he is going over. My fellow students are all very friendly and always eager to help and give tips. There is a reason why the word “family” is in the name of this gym. Very welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Gator Family Brazilian Jujitsu!"
