J T
"Coach Jenny is incredible! She’s highly skilled in jiu-jitsu!!! She explains techniques clearly and answers questions with care, making the material accessible for everyone. The studio is clean, welcoming, and there’s plenty of parking. They welcome all gi styles and colors, which adds to the inclusive and relaxed environment. If it’s your first time and you don’t have a gi, don’t worry—come anyway! They have loaner gis available, or you can purchase one at the studio. Coach Jenny creates an environment where women feel heard, respected, and capable. Everyone I’ve met has been kind, respectful, and supportive—it’s truly a great community to train with."
Carrie Miller
"My son has been taking classes here for about nine months and it’s been the best experience! Such a welcome community and the coaches are great; knowledgeable and patient, while still having fun. He’s learning all kinds of great life skills, respect for himself and others, perseverance, dealing with setbacks. I highly recommend Kindred!"
Ira Jacob
"Kindred coaches are the best of the best. They make learning bjj fun while also running a tight ship. Students learn life values like respect, honor, hard work, doing your best, doing what’s right, the importance of good hygiene, etc. The coaches are great communicators and know how to talk to kids. They are good role models and my son really looks up to them. They’ve even offered encouragement and advice when he talks to them about his life outside of bjj. The gym is well lit and always clean and the atmosphere is positive, encouraging, and focused. The parent community at kindred is also amazing and classes are available all the way from complete beginner to kids (and adults) who are seriously dedicated and competing at regional matches. Would I recommend kindred bjj to you? Absolutely 👍"
Anthea Finnel
