Iowa Lakes Jiu Jitsu

"I Showed up on the wrong day from out of town and he came to the gym just to train with me, awesome guy and awesome coach, very glad I made my way here and will definitely be back again!"

"Been training at Iowa Lakes Jiu-Jitsu since it opened and with Matt a year before. Coach Mentik is great, he’ll point out any holes or flaws in your game and help you correct them. Practices are great with a good hour to 2 hours of solid training and sparring. His coaching doesn’t stop at the gym, if you need help getting into better shape he’ll gladly help you out even if it’s not Jiu-Jitsu related. Very fun environment and great teammates who’ll help you figure out the positions and submissions. Definitely worth going to whether you want to compete in tournaments or just want to get in better shape."

"I’ve know Matt Mentink for 20 years and had the opportunity to work and coach with him. Matt is a person with high integrity and stands by his word and does what he promises. He is passionate about the fundamentals of wrestling and martial arts and helping his student master these skills with confidence. He won’t give up on you if you don’t give up on yourself. I would highly recommend you give Matt a call if you’re looking to learn something new!"

"I had the pleasure of training with Coach in Woodbine over the last few years. He has lots of experience competing and coaching wrestling which shows in his ability to break down Jiu Jitsu moves in a way that is easy to understand. Coach is passionate about Jiu Jitsu and rarely ever turns down an opportunity train. We miss him in Woodbine but very happy to see him continue his training and achieve his Jiu Jitsu goals. Can't wait to road trip up there and roll."
