5 J's
"My son and I recently started training at Herron BJJ. We had no experience whatsoever. Clay and Janice are fantastic instructors. They are patient with beginners and take the time to explain everything so that it makes sense. There are also plenty of advanced students in all of the classes. Everyone else we have met at Herron BJJ has been very friendly, and helpful as well. There is plenty of mat space. If you are considering starting jiu jitsu or looking for a new gym, give Herron BJJ a try. I am confident you will enjoy it as much as we have."

"Definitely the best BJJ school around. Started about 2 years ago and was warmly welcomed into this school. Clay and Janice are great instructors who will be patient and caring with every student that walks through their doors. If you haven’t already, come try a class out!"
Jesse Campbell
"Our son has been training at Herron since July. It has been an amazing experience for him. Coaches Clay, Janice and Preston are absolutely fantastic. Coach Clay (the head instructor) is super down to earth but will also hold you accountable if you are not working hard. Exactly what a martial arts instructor should be. I highly recommend HerronBJJ if you are looking to get your little ones or yourself into martial arts!"
Darek Funk
"Great experience! Environment is very friendly, with a variety of lifestyles that are training and learning along side you. Clay and Janice (owners/practitioners)coach; they help with questions during class and if you ever feel you need more attention they offer Private lessons at a reasonable rate. Self-defense is all apart of the training, improves movement, confidence, and is a great workout. All age ranges; I started in my 30's and feel its a part of my life to help with stress and cardiovascular health. Once you start you wont want to stop. Call them up to start!!"
