Jamie Hayward
"Griffin Jiu-Jitsu Academy is such a great place to train. It’s super clean and has a really welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. The classes are fun, interactive, and you learn a lot without feeling overwhelmed. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking about trying jiu-jitsu!"
John Lillywhite
"The staff is great and the open environment is awesome for someone trying to learn Jiu Jitsu. I found other martial arts gyms intimidating because of lots of new information without specific training from the teachers. At Griffin Academy the experience was different. The instructors are knowledgeable, capable, and willing to answer any questions. The staff is also great to work with for payments and memberships. I had a couple months where I had to take time off for injuries and they made everything work."
Daniel Lemley
"Griffin Jiu Jitsu Academy is awesome. It’s very clean and everyone is very welcoming. While everyone is competitive, there aren’t any egos here. Great structure to every class, yet still plenty of fun. I’ve really enjoyed training here the past several months. I have different aged kids in multiple classes and they enjoy training here as well."
Shane
