"My friend referred me to this place I signed up my 8 year old son and he absolutely loves it. Great place to learn self defense, discipline and it gives me peace knowing he ca defend himself. In addition I started training and I also absolutely love it."

"The instruction, facility, family values, and atmosphere are absolutely outstanding! At 62 I was apprehensive about starting such a rigorous program, but found out immediately that I was not the only older student but that I could go at my own pace, without embarrassment. However, I was encouraged to challenge myself by the instructors and fellow students. I saw the whole school express pride when a student did better. I could barely do one of the 5 minute "roll" sessions, but after a few weeks I could do three. I know that's no big deal but it was to me. Then, many students started telling how good I was progressing. Now my goal is six rolls! On the other hand, there are certainly a wide array of young skilled fighters to train with. Both men and women. I also noticed that the women seemed comfortable training at this school. The instruction here is quite special. Complete and practical with lots of drilling. You learn a technique, drill it, drill with non cooperating opponent, then apply it while "fighting". This way you can actually apply the moves for real. I watched several kids classes and those are fantastic as well. A wonderful school and BJJ community for sure!"

"My kids have been going there since November and have been so excited to attend class. The instructors and community there are very warm and welcoming!"

"Thank you Professor Gabriel "Pato" for the most welcoming experience I had with team GB Peabody. Thank you team GB Peabody. With love, Mark Dominguez."
