Amanda Sandlin
"This place changed my life. I highly recommend not only for the jiu jitsu but for the camaraderie and atmosphere."
Reed Murphy
"Been going to Team Jucao for a little over 2 years. Best decision I've ever made. Professor Jason Darty is a fantastic teacher. Whether your goal is weight loss, self defense, competition, or even just a hobby you will have a huge return on investment. When you sign up you wont just be gaining the ability to defend yourself, but also a family of wonderful people."
Mandi
"Great gym with a great program. My son has been doing BJJ with Professor Darty for 4 years and still loves going. Wonderful for exercise, learning self-discipline and self defense."
Chad Mallett
"I personally would not train anywhere else. The owner was my friend long before I was his student. brothers now more so then friends. With a back ground in Taekwondo I had always wanted to try jiu-jitsu ever since I seen it in 93 This was the first legitimate Place for jiu jitsu in Walker County that had legit jiu-jitsu. My home for jiu jitsu will always be with team jucao."
