"1st class, very nice but tiring to what I'm used to. Definitely made me sweat, tons of fun. Would recommend."
Darin Jones
"Awesome environment for kids and adults! The Professor and coaches are great with the kids, classes are challenging but most importantly fun. I signed my daughter up and after a few months, I had to come too. Only problem is no class on Sundays!"
Scott Sanford
"Great gym with great professors. Professor Mair is very thoughtful in his teaching methods and makes sure everyone is progressing each class. One of the best workouts you can get while challenging your mind at the same time. If you've never tried BJJ before, its a great place to start."
