What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Allison Shealy
"Great academy with a very positive atmosphere! Our 8 year old daughter trains here under Professor Scott and immediately she was hooked. She loves all the instructors and is always ready to go to class. Great place for kids to learn self defense and get positive feedback. Highly Recommended!"
Galen Okazaki
"I was visiting Wilson and dropped into GMBJJ as a visiting student. From the first phone call Professor Scott was positive and welcoming. My experience in his classes was he runs a great balance between pushing you physically and mentally while teaching you out of a obvious deep well of knowledge and experience. The other guys and girls at the gym are friendly and helpful. Overall it is a great school, I appreciate the opportunity to train here and plan on coming back the next time I am in town."
Chase Eaton
"If you are looking for a fast paced environment, exemplary instruction, and a way to stay in shape while learning the art of jiu jitsu, you have come to the right place! Scott runs a tight ship, and as a result, he fosters the growth of top tier athletes. Highly recommend!"
cynthia Crawley
"My daughter(9) has been going here for awhile now, she’s gained so much self confidence since starting along with self defense and friends. They have amazing coaches, very patient and knowledgeable. The owner is always available for info and to help in anyway. I’d recommend them to anyone but especially for kids."
