What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Melissa Mock
"Chad is an amazing coach who has expert knowledge and skills. Chad ensures inclusion for all of his students. My son has unique qualities that do not allow him to physically perform with the same strength of other students. Chad has ensured all students are aware of his unique needs so he remains safe while performing and free of injury. All of the other students have ensured including my son and treating him as a peer and ensuring he feels like part of the team. This has allowed Kaleb to improve socialization skills, confidence, and motor skills as well as get exercise! Thank you BJJ for ensuring a place where he can learn and grow while learning skills to protect himself if ever needed!"
Julian Kahn
"I was traveling from out of town this week and called Insight to see if I could get some mat time in between Brenham/La Grange before a tournament in a few months. Coach Peterson was incredibly accommodating. First impression was what a welcoming and friendly place to train, not to mention spotlessly clean. Open mat had great turnout and I got some really good coaching advice during the classes. Coach Peterson is calm, relaxed, positive, technical. He explains things clearly and takes time with the students to work through combinations. The people at the gym I had the opportunity to roll with were all relaxed, good natured, and tough competitors. Enjoyed the focused, positive training community. What a great grappling/jiujitsu resource if you’re in or around Brenham/La Grange. Appreciate you for making the time this week, Coach. Can’t thank you enough."
Andrea Beth
"I've been training with this organization for over a year with a focus on striking with boxing classes and private Muay Thai lessons. The environment is very supportive with serious workouts in the striking classes and technical instruction. The training is competition oriented including sparring although only some train to compete. I am self defense oriented and appreciate the sparring that gives me a real world feel unlike pure self defense classes I've taken that don't do sparring. Sparring is not mandatory if that isn't an interest."
Alex Henley
"I’ve know Chad Petersen for years as a competitor and great guy, then he joined my team and I’ve been lucky enough to have him carry on my team name at his own schools. I truly believe that if you’re training anywhere else, you’re missing out on the best training and environment. At least try your free week at Insight BJJ to see what all you can get out of this great school."
