Lauren Dobelbower
"Training at Kaizen Jiu Jitsu has been an amazing experience! All of the coaches are super knowledgeable and excel at breaking down complex concepts in a way that makes it easy to understand and implement. They take the time to answer student questions and make the classes fun and engaging. All of our training partners are very respectful and supportive of one another, and it's a great feeling to watch everyone learn and grow together. If you've ever considered trying out Jiu Jitsu, I can't recommend Kaizen enough!"
Asa Hinson
"Ever since I started training here, I have absolutely fell in love with martial arts than before. The gym has a great community that helps you evolve and makes you feel welcomed! Coaches at Kaizen have years of experience and will take the necessary time to make sure students can grasp and apply techniques with ease. My favorite part of Kaizen is the passion, patience and knowledge that the community gifts each other. Whether you’re looking to do Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu or MMA, you will learn things about yourself and combat sports that you’d never thought you’d learn. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to learn self defense, become a fighter or even just as a hobby!"
Chin Fong
"Dropped in as a blue belt for jujitsu during New Years holidays. Though the class was small due to the holidays, the people there were super welcoming to me visiting. It feels like my 2nd home gym. No one there was overly aggressive and I really enjoyed every spar. Note: not run very traditional if your into bowing and osssing"
Brandon Wedderburn
"Great gym, great attitudes, & great people. You will truly grow as a martial artist and person when you walk through these doors. Very happy to train here. Don’t hesitate to give this a try. You get a month free to see if you like it or not!"
