Katelynn Bromwell
"My son absolutely loves his Jiu Jitsu class! Since starting, he’s gained so much confidence and always looks forward to going. The instructors and students are incredibly welcoming and supportive – it really feels like a great community. We’re so glad we found this place!"
Patty Koestner
"My son (5) has been taking the kids all level class twice a week for about 4 weeks. He absolutely loves it, he wakes up each morning and asks "is today Jiu Jitsu?" He has gained confidence and the class helps him use some of that little boy energy. The coaches have been great, coach to kid ratio is exceptional and each kid is coached where they are. We've been looking for a way for our rambunctious little guy to have a place to be physical and safe and we found it!"
Tessa Thomas
"I attended the women’s only class on Fridays with Heather and had a blast! I found it to be a technique focused class which was comfortably challenging (as comfortable as one can be while being put into uncomfortable positions that is, lol). If you’re looking for a cool group of girls with all levels of experience to learn from, this team will welcome you with open arms! As a beginner, I didn’t feel intimidated or at risk of hurting myself - everyone went at a tolerable pace."
Bev M
"This has been one of the best activities I have done in a long time! From the first time I came to see a class, I have found this group to be welcoming, patient with the learning experience and have left each time pumped to come to the next class. I have learned a lot in a short time. And I truly appreciate how accepting this group has been! I did not have much experience and am an older woman. I have found that does not matter in the least. If you have any interest at all I recommend giving this a try. The people are terrific; I cannot say that enough. The instructors and students are friendly, fun and enthusiastic. And this is such a great sport to learn! There’s nothing like learning something new and making new friends along the way!"
