"Robin and Amanda are amazing. They are so helpful, kind, and have dedicated their lives to shring the art of Jujitsu. My daughter and I love the art and have just. It's been so welcoming even as novice in the art. The instructors, both Mike's, Allison, Eric, Matt, just all of them, bring their own color of the art to their respective classes. Then, one adds on the community, events, and top-notch facilities to round out one of the Midwest best academics, if not the best. One of the coolest other things is the history of this academy. The original owner was just promoted to be the first coral belt from America."
"This is a special place! Our whole family trains here and loves it. The instructors are welcoming, knowledgeable, and incredible teachers. Whether you're age 4 or an adult, you're in great hands. The best hidden gem is the FREE women's class on Saturdays! A great class for women to dip their toe in and get hooked."
"Probably one of the nicest Academy’s in the world. Top level instruction for ALL levels. Fantastic self defense program for beginners and the kids program is top notch. Super clean gym, towel service, 3 showers, easy parking, great location and family friendly environment. I HIGHLY recommend."
"Love this community and the brand new, massive NEW LOCATION! When I finally decided to get back into Martial Arts and was considering Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, many people suggested I meet Robin Giesler and his Relson Gracie academy. I found the Gieseler’s and their instructors to be quality people, with a heart to teach both kids AND adults the gentle art of JiuJitsu. After a year of training 4-5 days per week now, I personally have not only lost weight and gained muscle, but I’ve also learned self defense techniques and disciplines that could save the life of my loved ones, or myself. More than that, my 2 son in laws now train here and we’ve all gained new friends, and would strongly recommend other families looking to get more active (both parents and kids) come check out some of the beginner and adult and kids classes in this big, clean, new location!"
