What Our Students Say

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

Joel Drayer

"I have been training Jiu-Jitsu for many years and have been to several other gyms in the past but none of them have felt like home as much as journey does. The kids classes are great and the adult classes are welcoming for beginners and long term practitioners alike."

Taylor Cook

"I have been training with chris and the journey team for about two years in total now. The amount of knowledge and experience in this gym is something that very few gyms can match. If you are looking for a gym that welcomes all, no matter your experience level or where you come from, this is the spot for you!"

Jin Kwon

"I've been training Journey Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) for over a year now, and I can honestly say it's been one of the best experiences of my life. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the sport, and they create a positive and supportive learning environment for students of all levels. The classes are well-structured and cover a wide range of techniques, from basic self-defense to more advanced competition-level moves. The instructors are always willing to take the time to help students learn and improve, and they create a fun and challenging atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable pushing themselves. I've learned so much from my time at Journey, both in terms of BJJ skills and personal development. I'm stronger, fitter, and more confident than I've ever been, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to train with such a supportive and talented group of people. If you're interested in learning BJJ, I highly recommend Journey. It's a great place to train, regardless of your experience level or goals."

J Troyer

"Excellent place to trim if you’re 5, 15, or 40. Friendly environment. Builds people up. I highly recommend coming here!"
