What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Joshuah Henderson
"This place is awesome! A great group of people of all ages shapes and sizes. Alex and Rusty are very knowledgeable black belts!! I highly recommend trying out a class for yourself or your kids!"
Hayley Schaffner
"We had a VERY shy 5 year old that would cry when trying new things because he would be nervous to talk to new people. We now have a 6 year old that can walk into any room with confidence. I never understood how a sport like this could provide so many valuable benefits outside of the sport itself. We are so thankful that my brother encouraged him to start. It has been one of the best things that we have done for him."
Beth Mauk
"I started training at Kraken 9 months ago. I had wanted to do jiu-jitsu for years but was hesitant due to worry about training with men and it not being strictly professional. My experience at Kraken has been amazing! The culture there is one of integrity and respect, and the instructors are all top notch. I started off with the goal of learning self-defense, but my goals are higher now. I feel like I've acquired skills that could actually be used in a real-world situation, and the confidence that's given me is an amazing feeling. My girls train there as well, and I can see a significant difference in their confidence and ability as well. They carry themselves differently. Proud to call this academy home!"
Kyle Jones
"I am on vacation with family and wanted to squeeze in Jiu Jitsu, really glad I found Kraken. I went to the 6am class, which is a great way to start the day. Friendly and welcoming, good group of guys to roll with, and Coach Scott is a very clear instructor. Wish I was nearby to take the morning class all the time, but will definitely stop back in when we are back in town. Seems like a great place with good people. I am grateful they had me, and I would highly recommend this school."
