What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Melissa Cook
"I have been bringing my son here for about 8 months. It was definitely an adjustment for him. But he has thrived in so many ways. The coaches are great. Professor Josh has been so patient with my son and is such a great teacher. There's also a women's class on Friday nights ran by Professor Solange that I have tried and really enjoyed and hope to continue. It's really a great community and I look forward to continue coming here!"
Ali Morshedzadeh
"Great coaches. Great staff. They are amazing with the kids. We really appreciate them."
Daniel Dicken
"I have been training here for about a year and a half, having never done jiu jitsu before. This gym has amazing instruction and community. They also do a great job keeping the gym and mats clean which I appreciate. Professors Josh and Solange do a great job, from teaching classes to running in-house tournaments to hone our competition skills. Professors Garrick and others in the morning are very friendly and inviting, providing a great way to start your day. I would highly recommend anyone interested take the plunge and start here!"
Dainer Duff-Dings
"Josh is a wizard at BJJ and they have a real cute dog there sometimes. The kickboxing class is both intense and very welcoming for beginners (like myself) Pretty much my favorite place to be"
