"My husband and three daughters have been attending Jiu-Jitsu classes here for about three months. Coach Max jr, Coach Luke and Coach Karen are patient and kind with and to all the students. Our girls definitely enjoy Every time they have class. They have grown in their knowledge of self-defense using Jiu-Jitsu techniques and they have even grown in their maturity. We as the parents also enjoy watching and seeing their smiling faces as they learn the drills and techniques and also when they roll with their teammates. Putting them in Jiu-Jitsu here was one of the best choices we have made."
