What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Spencer Reeves
"I have been a student of Jeff (the black belt professor) for 5 years and I cant say enough good things about him! He has a very thorough style and top notch instruction. Everyone at the gym is always super welcoming to new faces, and I quickly felt at home. Jeff is the realest guy you will ever meet, and sincerely cares about his students on and off the mats. If you are ever in the area I HIGHLY suggest you pay GC a visit."
Penny Caudle
"I have been doing martial arts most of my life and in the two years I have been training under Jeff, my ground game has improved significantly. I am truly honored to be one of Jeff’s students and hold a lot of respect for him. Definitely the best place to train in BJJ!"
Armando Cruz
"This is not your average gym. When I travel, I love to try out new gyms. This one surprised me. Professor Jeff’s approach is quite different than all the schools I’ve trained at. If you’re looking for street effective jiujitsu this is your place. Professor Jeff has lived out what he teaches as a bouncer and delivers his techniques in easy to follow steps. The members were welcoming. Environment is very casual and laid back. Nothing traditional about it. Just pure effectiveness. I would definitely recommend it with one caveat. If you are easily offended this is not your place. There is plenty busting your chops and good hearted fun. Be ready to train and to laugh. Thanks for the opportunity to train with you all. Blessings."
Luis Flores
