Gorilla BJJ Academy

"Great gym great people. My cousin switched to this gym a couple months ago and his game has dramatically improved since! Head coach Mike teaches a great program and everyone there rolls very respectfully. If you’re thinking about starting bjj or any type of striking, this is a great place to get started. If you’re experienced, this place is loaded with great training partners of all levels. Best training in the area!"

"Gorilla Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an incredible place to train! The environment is extremely positive, and the culture is welcoming and supportive. Professor Mike is a fantastic instructor—patient, knowledgeable, and truly skilled at teaching. He breaks things down in a way that makes learning both effective and enjoyable. On top of that, the gym is spotless, which is a huge plus. You never have to worry about hygiene issues—just come in, train hard, and leave feeling great. Highly recommend! No knuckleheads, which is refreshing."

"Love training here. The owner Mike is an amazing instructor. He’s also a genuinely caring person who cares about everybody Who trains here. All of the instructors are top-notch. I learned something new here every single time I arrive. one of my favorite parts of the week is when I get to come to class."

"I began training at Gorilla in 2017. Mike Wilson, the owner/operator, instructs nearly every class, is a HIGHLY skilled, passionate, smart, and kind teacher. Mike makes time for ANYONE with the heart to walk in the front door and train. This is not a business or job for Mike, it’s his passion and unparalleled commitment to teaching. Mike, as well as every instructor at Gorilla, takes time with their students, teaches in great detail and backs up everything he teaches with real world application. Not only does Mike teach nearly every class, seven days a week, Mike will almost always stay late with students who want to work more on their craft, roll another few rounds or even just stick around to have good conversation with the group! Not only is Mike and the team at Gorilla committed to the students and the craft. Mike has ALWAYS accommodated my requests to teach BJJ seminars to the community that I work in. Mike would never take a dollar, he truly loves what he does and that passion rubs off. If you’re looking for a spot to train that is immaculately cleaned before and after every class, a family environment that is accepting of anyone that puts in the work and unmatched knowledge, passion and skill from a TOP CLASS BJJ Professor, walk in the front door!"
