What Our Students Say

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

Michael Swemba

"I’ve been a member of Jits56 for about 10 months, and it’s been a great experience in every way. The instruction is top-notch and will meet you at your skill level to help you develop. The other members have all been awesome as well. They range from serious competitors to new entrants, and regardless of skill level, there are no egos whatsoever and everyone is positive and supportive. All of this makes for a vibe that is somehow laid back but focused and productive all at the same time. There are tough rolls, but there are some laughs, too, making sessions both fun and challenging. I would say if you are looking for quality jiu jitsu instruction amongst quality people in a supportive environment, Jits56 is the place for you."

Josh Brandon

"I've been with this gym since it opened. The atmosphere is welcoming to everyone and the members are genuinely fun to talk to. We take training seriously but have a lot of fun while doing so. The staff are attentive, professional, and respectful to the classes they teach. There's a great mix of differing ages, body types, and Jiu-jitsu styles in this gym, so sparring includes a lot of variety. That keeps things fresh and exciting."

Nick Ambrozich

"All around fantastic gym. Every instructor is super helpful and patient as you learn. The atmosphere is more laid back which helps learn in a stress free environment. It is also clean and equipment is well maintained. I would 100% recommend this gym if it's your first class or you are an experienced upper belt!"

Matt Septer

"A great group of people to train with, ranging from all walks of life and age. The 6am classes allow me to train 3-4 days per week and I can get on with my day. No excuses. Justin and team are great and very knowledgeable."
