What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
David Reed
"My 4yo son and I took a the Mat Munchkins class here and it was great. They are very-kid friendly/knowledgeable but also really good at teaching attention and confidence. Moves were demonstrated and then dads & kids practiced them, rounded out by fun group exercises. As a dad, I had a blast working on moves on the mat with my son, including an arm bar on the first day! We were so convinced after one class that we signed up for the monthly program. Really looking forward to learning jiu jitsu and seeing my son grow in confidence and physicality."
Matthew Cartlidge
"I have high expectations, and Coach Zac blew them away this morning with the way he taught and connected with the kids in the “Mat Munchkins”. He has found the perfect balance between being authoritative and fun. Thanks for making today perfect for my son. His exact words when my wife asked him what the best part of class was and he said “coach Zac”. He went on to say the whole class was fun!"
Steven Day
"Zac is amazing at teaching kids, my daughter loves this class better than any other martial arts class she's had. She said all she did was play games, but I watched, Zac was teaching basics of BJJ in entertaining and fun ways. 5 stars."
Hannah Hoke
"Love that this location has a munchkins program so my kids can practice together. Zac is a great instructor and knows how to get the kids engaged. Highly recommend!"
