"I love this place and the brotherhood bond that we have. Greg is an amazing instructor so much so that I travel once a year from Washington state just to train with these gentlemen. There is no where else I would have loved to start Jiu Jitsu. Thank you Greg!"

"Coach Greg is an excellent instructor and an even better bjj practitioner! He is very attention to detail oriented. He teaches his students to be technical and adaptable while keeping the techniques relative to everyday life. He's an amazing kids instructor as well! He's a master at keeping the kids focused on the technique, while keeping the atmosphere fun and full of energy. Keeps you coming back back for more!I Great instructor. Great brother!"

"Coach Greg is one of the best coaches I had fortune to train and learn alongside in my 25+ year martial arts career. He is extremely methodical, understands how to dissect the technique into teachable and consumable steps and maintains consistency and continuity. If your learning from Coach Greg you will understand the proverbial why and how it feels to apply and receive a technique while having the flexibility to explore and adapt to your own body and abilities. I highly recommend Coach Greg as you guide in your martial arts journey"
