"Coach Josh Harper is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and patient instructor! His establishment is a great place to train for the whole family. The Higher Performance Jiu Jitsu "family" is welcoming to all who are interested. The atmosphere is very "chill" which results in lots of laughter and friendships!"
Maura Marchant
"If you're looking to get into martial arts, this is definitely the place to go. Josh is very patient with those like me who are a little slower to catch on and he teaches in a way that's understandable. This class is something I look forward to each week because they're like a family. It's structured, but we have fun. I highly recommend checking out HPJJ!"
