Brian Watson
"Started a few months back. Was warmly welcomed by the instructor and had so much fun I decided to join the class! The instructor is exceptionally knowledgeable with tons of experience and great relationships with the other members. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a practical after hours hobby and social gathering! Hope to see others come out and take part in the fun!"
Lori Lawson
"The coach, Sam, is a really patient teacher who never hesitates to answer your questions. You can tell he loves his sport and sharing it with others. I came in as a complete beginner and have learned a lot thanks to his guidance. I appreciate that we work hard but also keep it fun. Definitely recommend giving it a try even if it’s out of your comfort zone!"
Dee L.P.
"I met Sam (main coach) and his team and they have been extremely warm and welcoming. I had never done bjj before and under Sam’s guidance, I feel like this is something I can keep doing! 5 stars!"
Chris Lee
"Cannot recommend enough! I look forward to each and every session. Sam is a great coach and not just for the jiu-jutsu. He cultivates a super positive atmosphere that makes it easy for people to build each other up along the way. I always leave the mats dripping with sweat and a smile on my face!"
