What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Amanda Perello
"We have been coming to coach Chad for about a year with our 5 year old son. We absolutely love it! I cannot say enough great things. This is the only activity that my son actually looks forward to and never fights us to go to. Jujitsu instills strength and discipline while coach Chad and his team provide the necessary structure and patience for children. I recommend 1000%"
Lindsay Saunders
"My son has been attending for over a year and loves it! He has learned so much! Coach Chad and his team of instructors are all great with the kids! I would highly recommend!"
Sang-Wook Lee
"I am new to jiujitsu and am having tons of fun learning various skills with my team/classmates. The culture is great. Regardless of your age or belt, people show up with humility. I was training with several purple belts and they were very supportive of my growth. The goal for Coach Chad is to build a community where everyone is pulling/pushing/challenging each other to grow together. More importantly, Coach Chad makes emphasis on easy:gentle sparing to make sure that no one gets injured. It’s a safe and fun environment that fosters brotherhood. I highly recommend those who are interested."
Love EveMarie
"My son really enjoys taking class here. Coach Chad and the other coaches take their time explaining things to all their students. I highly recommend checking them out."
