What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Joseph Tomasso
"A great gym. Quality instruction from people who truly want to help you get better at BJJ. The standup grappling instruction is a huge plus. Tuition is reasonable, and stripes/belts are earned via hard work. No egos and insults; just top-notch training. Recommended."
Duni V
"Walked in about a year ago and haven’t looked back. Great community, all the professors are awesome and you can tell they love bjj. A lot of classes during the week and even open mat time on Saturdays. Love it."
Kristopher Smith
"Great gym with a great atmosphere. Multiple opportunities for open mat time throughout the week. My son, daughter, and I train here. If you're new to grappling or looking at options for a new gym I'd recommend taking advantage of the free trial and stopping by."
Bret Spoehr
"No belt tests or fees, just rank up when you earn it. The color belts are good people with good spirit who lead by example, no bullies, no egos about rolling. There's four black belts who regularly attend and teach class so the knowledge base is excessively worth the tuition. Head instructor cares deeply about the integrity and efficacy of the art. It's a good place. Good people."
