What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Justin Koehler

"Helena BJJ is a great studio for anyone looking to: improve their fitness, learn self defense, gain confidence, improve their kinesthetic intelligence, compete, improve health, improve problem solving, make friends and work one on one with experienced coaches. I resumed my BJJ journey in October 2023 and have been attending weekly as much as possible since. The coaches provide a positive atmosphere to thrive in while interacting with other practitioners. The coaches provide feedback and guidance to help polish your technique and improve your experiences. I have had a great time working under professor David and look forward to my continued journey in the BJJ curriculum. The coaches respond promptly to any questions so I recommend reaching out and trying out your first class to see if BJJ is the right sport for you!"

Tyler Jarvis

"I have consistently trained at 4 different gyms in 3 different states and Helena BJJ is by far my favourite. Black belt professor David is extremely talented an amazing teacher, and very engaged personally in each student whether they are coming for their first time, or have been there for year. The class sizes are great for quality competition and fast progression in the sport. The gym is exceptionally clean, mopped and disinfected after each class. There is no other Gym in Helena if you are serious about BJJ."

Brian Aasen

"Amazing place to train! Very welcoming and professional environment for all ages and experience levels. The instructors are knowledgeable and willing to help with adjusting techniques as they teach and roll. If you are looking for a drop in class or long term BJJ gym this is an phenomenal choice."

Ben Smith

"I have been to about a dozen different BJJ schools over 5 years of my traveling career: it was at this school that I learned the most and made the most efficient gains in my personal game. Professors Dave and Sean teach with a logical approach to techniques that is easy to learn but challenging to master. I loved the consistent exposure to techniques of all styles, they happily drill everything from standup to turtle in order to ensure a well rounded BJJ game. Because of this, it is very rare to catch anyone here off guard which only strengthens your own game. I now have options in multiple areas I only had deficits in prior: standup/takedowns, butterfly guard etc. If you are in the Helena area, do yourself a favor and go to this school!"
