What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Drew Richards

"I can't say enough about the hospitality myself and my daughter were treated to while in town Leviathan. As a brown belt who's has trained all over the country, having 3 different home gyms as the Army has moved me to 3 different states since I started training, I can't tell you how nice it was to find a solid jiu-jitsu gym so close to my hometown. Breck and the team have something really cool going on there. When I told my 4yo daughter we were heading to TN to see Grandmama and she needed to pack, she went and grabbed her gym bag and only packed her gi, belt and rash guard. I looked at her and asked you want to take that? She said "yeah sure, you can maybe find somewhere for me to train" (on vacation.) We'll that we did and what a great kids program! Everyone was focused, training hard and the coaches did a wonderful job making sure my daughter was treated like one of their own. I'm excited to come back and see them next time I'm in town. If you are local definitely bring your kids over to try it out, or bring yourself and start something new, it might just be the best thing you've ever done for yourself"

Matthew Weldon

"I don't know where these 1 star review people are coming from...I know the owner personally and, even though our political views are polar opposites, I consider him as both a brother and a friend. So if you're leaving 1 star reviews in order to make other gyms in the area look better, you're wasting your time. Leviathan is top tier and they have the medals to prove it. "As for me and my house, we will train at Leviathan!" -the Reverend"

Jessica French

"I can’t say enough good things about this BJJ gym. The instructor/coaches are amazing and the atmosphere of parents and students are wonderful! My child has been training here for about 1 1/2 yrs now. I have seen how my son has grown both in skill and self confidence. After sitting and watching him for several months both my husband and I decided to try it ourselves. I personally had the most hesitation to even try it due to previous life situations and everyone here has been patient and supportive of me. Now I’m able to face those fears with confidence and while having fun! It has been truly a great experience all around for the 3 of us! We love this BJJ community and can’t wait to see our continuous progress evolves!"

Megan Payne

"This gym is amazing. It’s very clean, amazing instructors. And great gym etiquette. Especially as a female, you have to feel comfortable being in close quarters with males. I never once felt uncomfortable, and didn’t know anyone who ever did. If you’re looking for a new gym, this is the one!!"
