What Our Students Say

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

Thomas Lewis

"Absolutely great place to train and learn. The owners, Professor Colleen and Professor Allen are beyond great at what they do. They foster not only a strong competitive team, but also a family environment. Regardless of whether you are just starting out, or have been in the game for years this is THE place to train."

Katie Keister

"I am so honored and blessed to call Generation “my gym”. Truth be told, it is more of a family, to me, than a gym. The community is unmatched and the environment is a safe space to grow and learn. My children and I could not be more thankful for the bonds that we share with our Generation family!!!! Whether it be on the mat at the gym, traveling together for competitions or hanging out at home altogether, we are truly a family! This gym offers the ability to exercise, learn self defense and problem solving skills on the mat AND in real life; while having fun and building amazing, long lasting relationships!! We are a competition gym but not everyone chooses to go that route and that is totally okay!!!! Whether you just want to roll around for fun or master the technique of BJJ from the most qualified local professors, you have found the place to be! We love every aspect of Generation Jiu Jitsu and look forward to growing together for many years to come!"

"I have both my kids enrolled at Generation and they love it. Professor Collen and Allen are great with the kiddos! I would recommend giving them a try if you are interested in starting on your own journey or your kids trying it out."

Cobb Family

"Our family has been training with Colleen and Alan for over 3 years and will continue to train with them for many more! The gym has an amazing setup, is very open, and is family friendly. The people here are amazing, and we couldn't ask for a more supportive gym family. Colleen is a great instructor and works very well with kids of all ages!"
