Chahm Gahng
"Great environment and wonderful coaches who care. I'm grateful for the time I spent at Journey. If you're like me BJJ or any contact sport may come across intimidating at first but the coaches and folks here will welcome you and help you on your "journey.""
Alexa Kellin
"Trying Jiu jitsu was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Excellent environment, clean facility, and incredible coaches who are passionate about the art of Jiu Jitsu. Alex, Bill, and Coleman are warm and welcoming providing tons of knowledge, engaging classes and are patient helping you learn necessary techniques that will grow you mentally and physically. Happy to be apart of the journey family. Would highly recommend."
Tannis Olsen
"While looking for a gym to take my children, I decided to participate in Journey's 42 day challenge to experience the gym culture and instruction first hand, and now that I've completed the challenge, not only am I signing my children up I've begun the journey of becoming a blue belt. This gym has been welcoming, encouraging, and fun. Looking forward to learning Jiu-Jitsu with my kids at Journey Jiu-Jitsu, and our new extended family."
Jack Fris
"I was brand new to BJJ when I started at Journey, and I can't recommend it enough. Classes are extremely approachable, the environment is top notch, and the instructors are patient and knowledgeable. Has been a fantastic place to learn, where I've felt welcome from day one and have become fast friends with everyone I've interacted with. The energy and drive of everyone involved is palpable."
