C W
"At the moment I only have one child in the class and we love it! Can’t wait to get the others involved. They learn so much and I feel like I’m even learning while watching too. It’s a great class they are patient and informative, a useful lifelong sport and perfect learning environment."
Jon Phung
"Very awesome with kids! Kids also get to bond and make new friendships! Great teachings, builds character and values! Fun and exciting, the kids grow and mature into gaining what they have practiced!"
Emily Edgerley
"I highly recommend Pedagogy Jiu Jitsu with Coach G! Our kids haven’t ever participated in organized sports, so I was eager to have them join something active. I sat in on a session when they were trying it out and was excited to see how many boxes were checked. The kids have to engage both their bodies and brains to learn the various techniques. The exercises are excellent for strengthening their bodies, but the tumbling action and exercises are amazing for their brains as well! Coach G is passionate, competent, and has experience in instruction, so he is able to provide a superb environment for learning these skills."
Elizabeth Evans-See
"Yuriy is very kind and patient with our little girl who is just beginning. Not only does he show those qualities but his kids and the other students do as well. We definitely recommend this for other people wanting to learn!"
