What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Micheal Sooter

"IQ Jiu Jitsu is an outstanding place to train for both kids and adults! Coach Brady Curt is incredibly knowledgeable and does an amazing job working with my kids—patient, encouraging, and skilled at teaching technique in a way they can easily grasp. The adult class is just as great! Whether you’re a complete beginner or have experience, you never feel left behind. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the instruction is top-notch, ensuring everyone can grow at their own pace. If you’re looking for a high-quality Jiu Jitsu academy with a supportive community, this is the place to be! #IQJiuJitsu #GreatCoaching #JiuJitsuForEveryone"

"5 star atmosphere! The instructors are awesome! They are so good and patient with these young children. My 5 year old is loving it and he is so proud of himself for his accomplishments! I highly recommend enrolling. It has been an amazing journey just watching my son grow!"

Christine Kraft

"My 5 year old son attended his first class tonight and absolutely loved it! The instructors were very energetic and kept him engaged for the entire class. Highly recommend and he can't wait to go back!"

Michael Davenport

"As a new student I instantly knew this was the place for not only me to train, but my family as well. The kids class took my two introverted children and helped with their confidence and self esteem. I saw a change instantly and now I KNOW the teaching philosophy and care given to my kids was a major influence in how far they have come. Adding in the self defense factor, I see confident kids, comfortable being uncomfortable, and ready to handle themselves in tough situations. For me, I have grown as a person, and the mental aspect of learning to problem solve through patience and perseverance while getting the best physical workout of my life, is a bonus. iQ Jiujitsu is an unbelievable experience, and I am a student for life!"
