Liz Cammenga
"It has been an amazing experience learning from JJ at Lakeshore Jiu-Jitsu! The whole community is extremely welcoming and you instantly become a part of the family. Everyone is patient in teaching and JJ does a great job walking people through whatever new moves are being taught that day. It’s been very motivating to challenge myself to learn a new skill and it’s so rewarding to watch yourself and the others progress in their Jiu-Jitsu journey. On top of all that, you get to learn skills that will be useful for the rest of your life. 10/10 recommend!"

The other students at the gym are friendly and more than willing to help on technique . It really is like a family. If you are looking for a gym to have fun build endurance, strength, friendships, and self defense this is the gym to go"
