"Great place to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Two black belt instructors that keep the training and instruction diverse, along with a great group of people to train with. Definitely a gym to check out if you haven't."
"An awesome school to learn and train. My son had been attending classes for two years now, he loves it. My 4 year old daughter started training a few months ago and see loves going to class. I myself started training in October and am now hooked. World class instruction from Todd, Joseph and Marcus. Megan and Kate create a family atmosphere. The other members are awesome, no drama, it’s like one big family. I recommend them to anyone who’s interested in learning and training."
"Really a great gym and the instructors are exceptional. I've been pleased with the facilities and there are more than enough classes for me to always make it when I want. Shout out to "The Professor" Marcus for all the help!"
"I can't say enough great things about this jiu jitsu school. My son has been training here for a year and a half and its become his second home. When we moved to Austin almost two years ago, we tried multiple gyms to find a great fit and we definitely hit the nail on the head with this place! Amazing training by three black belt coaches and a close knit community, whom have become some of our closest friends. Being a newbie to Austin, these people and this place have come to mean so much to my family. Watching our son love training here recently motivated my husband and I to learn this sport, as well!! We are both beginners, but everyone has been so supportive and helpful! I’m a germaphobe and this places gets my seal of approval for cleanliness. I rarely take the time to write a review, but this place is definitely worth it!"
