Brady Follett (TheElvenKeys)
"Great gym. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is very strategy based. A lot of sparring from side control, full guard, usually whatever the days lesson was about. Very good, knowledgeable instructors. Really recommend."
SuperSix Family
"GB Novi has a terrific culture. My son attends and while the classes are very challenging - as you would expect with BJJ - the focus is really on teaching. The instructors push the students in a very constructive / instructive way, and the more experienced athletes often help guide the newer members."
