What Our Students Say

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

Jesse Hebert

"Hands down the BEST Jiu-Jitsu gym we’ve ever been to! We visited over a year ago to do some cross training and signed up immediately. Super welcoming and made us feel like family instantly. We drive 2.5 hours (150miles) round trip 4-5 times a week because it’s 1000% worth it. They offer more types of classes with more class times than any other gym. You can come in as a beginner and expect to be treated with respect, taught a great deal by super high level athletes, and also worked as hard as you want. You can come in as a black belt and expect those same things! If you want to be one of the best, and train with some of the best, there’s no other place! We travel all over the country with this team competing in tournaments! The kids program is second to none! The amount of skill, confidence and pure joy this gym has given our son is unbelievable. Want to level your kid up? This is the place! If you’re even remotely considering, come stop by and try it out for yourself!"

Cutter Kates

"Stopped by JM Modern JJ, while in town. First visit and it was a great experience. Great gym, clean mats and facilities, fantastic instructors and a very welcoming environment. Owner is a legit black belt with actual top level competition under his belt. All levels of belts and experience on the mats and none of the bad gym stereotypes. Nothing but good times and good vibes. 10/10 would recommend."

Kerry Foland

"Loved this gym! We dropped in for class while in town. Everyone was welcoming, and the gym was very well maintained. Instruction was great and we will definitely be back!"

Heather DeSalvo

"JM Modern Jiu Jitsu is hands down the best place for Jiu Jitsu in the area! My entire family—myself, my husband, and our two kids—train here, and we couldn't be happier. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the instruction is top-notch. The coaches are incredibly dedicated, taking the time to work with each student and they truly care about everyone's progress. Additionally, the kids' program is amazing. The coaches do a fantastic job of engaging the younger kids while also pushing the more advanced kids to challenge themselves and continue improving. The facilities are spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of classes available for all levels. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, there's something for everyone. I highly recommend JM Modern Jiu Jitsu!"
